Toshiyuki Shimada, conductor of the ECSO visits with the chorus

Toshiyuki Shimada, conductor of the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orhcestra, as well as Isabelle Singer, the executive director of the ECSO visited our 4/5 chorus rehearsal today. He could not have been more impressed. He has invited Mr. K. and our students to collaborate, possibly performing before a symphony performance or with the Eastern Connecticut Youth Symphony. He could not believe what Mr. K. has accomplished with our students during the short time he has them for chorus each week. As Ms. Laureen was walking him out he said, "Your music teacher is brilliant, a very talented teacher." How lucky are we to have Mr. K. share his time, talent and love of music with us!
