January - March, Location TBA
This special project is an outgrowth of an initiative launched at Pittsburgh's
La Roche College and in partnership with Renaissance City Winds Orchestra.
Fifth through eighth grade students from urban and suburban parochial schools are paired
and compose and perform in a final concert music that has elements of jazz and the classics.
The outcome is not only an appreciation of the music and the young musicians,
but also a greater respect for cultural diversity and other differences.
