Artist-in-Residence, Byran Johnson, Inspires Choral Students

Each year, the 112 Education Foundation partners with Ravinia’s REACH*TEACH*PLAY education programs to bring nationally acclaimed Ravinia teaching artists to work with middle school music students. This year, Bryan Johnson returns to lead all 6^th-8^th grade choral students in songs celebrating the 100^th birthday of the great American composer, conductor and educator, Leonard Bernstein.   Mr. Johnson will work with the students at all three middle schools through day-long residencies before combining forces of over 200 choral students from Edgewood, Elm Place and Northwood at Ravinia on Friday, March 2^nd in what is sure to be a rousing final performance.  The 112 Education Foundation and NSSD112 are grateful to Ravinia for providing this amazing opportunity for young artists.
