Juilliard-trained Musicians Set to Visit Montgomery Schools

Sonic Escape brings music to life for four Montgomery schools tomorrow and Thursday. The visits are an outreach effort of ClefWorks. Its educational performances provide high quality music experiences for students in Montgomery who are often undeserved when it comes to the arts.

The first set of interactive concerts will take place on Wednesday, March 2 at Goodwyn (9 am) and Georgia Washington Middle Schools (1:30 pm). Students at Flowers (9 am) and Fitzpatrick Elementary Schools (1:30 pm) will enjoy concerts on Thursday, March 3.

Sonic Escape features Maria Millar (violin) and Shawn Wyckoff (flute), a pair of Juilliard graduates whose blend of hyper-instrumentals, stories, dance moves and original works is “wonderfully imaginative… with a wide-ranging, anything-goes sense of fun.” (The Washington Post).

After Thursday’s outreach, Sonic Escape will present a unique performance on Friday, March 4, at the City Auditorium. Tickets for Friday’s concert are $20 for adults and $15 for children. They can be purchased in advance at www.clefworks.org at the door. The show is family-friendly.

ClefWorks provides innovative, classical concert opportunities that engage a new audience in chamber music.
