When we give kids opportunities to experience more, we help them believe they can become more. Recently the Dobie Orchestra has had some extraordinary opportunities that help them see just that!
An ensemble from the Varsity Orchestra was invited to perform in conjunction with the Virtuosi of Houston for the American College of Healthcare Executives Leadership Conference held in the Intercontinental Hotel in the Medical District.
On Friday, the Chamber Orchestra visited Jones Hall to watch a Houston Symphony rehearsal as part of their residency partnership with the organization. Later in the year, students will also receive coachings with Houston Symphony members.
Sometimes the greatest gift we can give a child is the chance to see what’s possible. Big thanks to our orchestra directors Ms. Badon, Mr. Payne & Ms. Duong for giving our students these opportunities!
