Congratulations to the Student Artists & Musicians on a Fantastic Dimensions Concert and Art Exhibit! #207Now @mainewesthighschool @maine_west #creativityfuelsthefuture

 

Congratulations to the students and faculty involved in Dimensions: Premiere Concert and Art Exhibit! 

Many families and friends of student artists attended tonight's public reception to view the incredible student artwork on display in the LRC, and the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters treated all student artists with custom-designed art cookies!

For many of the music students, staff and their friends and family in the audience, tonight's concert was the first formal concert performed or attended in nearly two years...and the students did not disappoint! The band, choir and orchestra performed a diverse selection of repertoire beautifully. A highlight was the Percussion Techniques class performing Soup's On by Katrina Cavaliere, a piece performed using dining ware! The two compositions by Digital Audio + Music Production students Jose Martinez Vitela and Pavlina Panagiotidis were a special treat - to see and to hear! Thank you to the student musicians for sharing your music with us and enriching our hearts and souls!

Thank you to the students in the theatre tech crew for their work on the sound and light board! You really enhanced the sound and ambiance of tonight's show! 

Thank you also to the Broadcasting students for covering tonight's performance. The broadcast of tonight's 5:30 p.m. performance can be found HERE!

A HUGE THANK YOU to the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters for buying cookies and pizza for every student involved in tonight's events! Additionally, thank you to the mighty AND GROWING cadre of parent volunteers who worked with the FABulous Fine Arts Boosters to help make tonight's event happen by working the box office, assisting with the art exhibit, selling merchandise, and buying and serving pizza to 250 people! MW Fine Arts Booster Volunteers and Contributors - Your support of all of our Fine Arts students is appreciated beyond words!
