The music never ceases - here's summer string options
Leonard Slatkin, Detroit Symphony Orchestra director says, "The role of an orchestra in the 21st century isn't just playing, it's about developing future audiences and performers."
That's what Rachael Lewis, Bluffton school strings teacher is doing this summer - developing future audiences and performers.
She's offering a free summer springs program to Bluffton musicians, as she has for many summers.
The program meets on Wednesdays and is for students wishing to keep up their musical skills in the summer. The strings meet in the elementary strings room.
"Students may come to as many of the classes as their summer schedule permits," said Lewis.
