It was really gratifying to attend the Afternoon Tea hosted by the Kenosha Orchestra Boosters, and see the results of the Arts and Humanities community of Kenosha working together toward a common goal.
All you have to do is look at the collaborators that made this possible, Orchestra Boosters of Kenosha, Lemon Street Gallery and the participating visual artists, the Anderson Arts Center, The Music Heritage Society, the KUSD Fine art departments, the KUSD Orchestra directors and their students, and all the donors and contributors
Great fundraiser, great attendance, great music performed by the students of Kenosha, a gracious guest (Thank you Rachel Barton), that not only performed but she stayed the whole function; and gave a inspiring presentation to the students with practical advice in how to keep focused and make the best of your music practice and classes. Great!
I believe this is it—Collaboration! There you have it!
I’m looking forward to more organizations following suit and making things happen. According to Sue Jensen from the Kenosha Orchestra Boosters, they are already planning next year’s event, first item in the list is to find a larger venue to accommodate all the attendants. Good for them.
The coffee and the pastries were good too!
