Jessie in NY Social DiaryJessie was a featured guest at the Third Street Music School Settlement’s 113th anniversary luncheon earlier this fall. She received the school’s inaugural Rising Star award and joined Joshua Bell, the event’s other honored guest, for a performance of Bach accompanied by Third Street students.
Third Street Music School Settlement is the oldest community music school in the nation, founded in 1894 with the idea that music could provide the immigrants of NYC’s Lower East Side "some respite from their daily struggles." Jessie and the rest of the PSQ will be visiting Third Street on January 26 to present a program entitled "Dvorak in America" that is very relevant to the idea of access to the arts for all (more about this later). Go here for more photos of Jessie and Josh Bell at Third Street’s big event. -Heath Marlow, CMW staff |
