"If arts have a place in society, they must be a part of a community. To be an artist is not the privilege of a few, but the necessity of us all." –Robert Lawson Shaw
It was an absolute thrill to finally sing with some SPARK students on the stage with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra! Mackenzie and Naomi are members of Atlanta Young Singers, a professional children's choir based near SPARK, and AYS was selected to perform the Christmas with the ASO concerts this season. Other SPARK alums included Carolina (now at VHE) and Advika (now at Howard). I am so lucky to teach students who have become such great choral singers!
