Adrienne remembers…One of the most memorable moments from my first year in CMW's Fellowship Program was at the spaghetti dinner and concert at the West End Community Center. I remember watching the Phase III students and the Providence String Quartet playing The Kompa Variations together. In the room that night were the Orion String Quartet, the Providence String Quartet, the Fellows, CMW students, and many families and friends of CMW.
When the Phase III students performed side-by-side with the Providence String Quartet, it was a special moment and I think everyone felt it—not just the people playing but everyone who was there could see that there was a special bond between the teachers and the students and their families, and that this community was being brought together by the power of music.
During the course of my two years here, I have had the great privilege of becoming a part of this community. CMW has shown me how music can play an important role in bringing people together. Looking out at all of the families and students and teachers at the final Performance Party, I realized how attached I have become in these two years to all of the people at CMW that have become such a huge part of my life. Thank you all for this making me a part of the CMW family! -Adrienne Taylor, Fellow (08-10) |
