2021 Visiting Virtual Artists
The first Visiting Virtual Artist performance was on April 6th with the dynamic duo, Elena Urioste, the Artistic Director of Chamber Music by the Sea, and Tom Poster, the Artistic Director of the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective. The Royal Philharmonic Society's 2020 Inspiration Award recipients Zoomed into Buckingham Elementary School all the way from London. Students created works of art inspired by the music.
On April 7th Anthony McGill, the principal clarinetist from the New York Philharmonic, Zoomed into Pocomoke Middle School. He shared incredible pieces on the clarinet, and even a peek into his childhood. He even spoke about the lead-up to Yo-Yo Ma asking him to play a piece with him for the inauguration of President Obama.
The final Visiting Virtual Artist was Weston Sprott, who joined Snow Hill Middle School students on Monday, May 10th. In addition to being an incredibly talented trombonist who plays for the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, he is the Dean of the Preparatory Division of The Juilliard School.
