The Wynton Marsalis Master Class
Tonight was very special! Our Executive and Artistic Director Harvey Lockhart’s vision became a reality. After almost 9 months of preparation, we launched the First event of our “Intellectual Artist Series.” For the past 8 weeks, students from the “North County Big Band” and the “City of Music All Star Chorus” (a total of 60 students) we’re engaged in weekly discussions about Mr. Wynton Marsalis’s book “Moving to Higher Ground, How Jazz can Change your life.” These discussions were led by our Literacy Coach, Mr. Robert Nelson.
Tonight, students from the above mentioned programs, jazzstl, and UMSL had the opportunity to participate in a meaningful discussion/book review with Mr.Wynton Marsalis in person. We are overjoyed with excitement! These students learned so much from this experience.
