Musica Sierra’s Music in Schools program

Musica Sierra and Carolyn Enger will present a hands-on workshop at Wild River Waldorf for grades 3-8, showcasing a new commission called Fauna Suite by local Sierraville composer JJ Hollinsworth.

Here, we will spend two days in the schools, offering a workshop and performance for the children practicing two movements from this newly commissioned suite. Joined by acclaimed pianist Carolyn Enger, our students and staff will have a unique opportunity to learn, perform, and be inspired by world-class pianists.
