It is a piano performance students and staff at Majestic Elementary Arts Academy won’t soon forget. That’s because they were treated to a special concert through the Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation’s “Music-in-Our-Schools” outreach program. It is a program that brings Steinway grand pianos and world-class concert pianists directly into schools.
This performance featured award-winning pianist Misha Galant who competed as a quarterfinalist and semifinalist in the prestigious 2024 Gina Bachauer International Artists Piano Competition. Mr. Galant’s fingers danced across the piano keys as he played classical numbers from Tchaikovsky, Schubert, and George Gershwin. Students learned that the piano can tell stories and convey emotions without lyrics. After each number, students were encouraged to ask questions about the music.
The “Music-in-Our-Schools” program introduces live classical piano music to 20,000 – 25,000 Utah students every year.
Thank you to the Gina Bachauer program and amazing pianist Misha Galant for giving Majestic Elementary Arts Academy students such a rich and memorable music experience!
Jordan School District’s Native American students gathered for an evening of food, friends, fun, and community. The JSD Native American Education Program held a community night for families to connect, meet their mentors, and learn more about the program’s resources. Costa Vida Riverton and Nothing Bundt Cakes Herriman provided free dinner and dessert for attendees, while volunteers served dirty sodas, popcorn, and cotton candy.
Thank you to all the volunteers and donors who came together to support Jordan School District students!
