Thank you so much for your spectacular performance... It was so heartwarming to look around the room at all the smiles and to see our staff cheering one another on! You created incredible energy in the room giving us all a holiday party to remember.
You also reminded us of an important lesson. The entire staff needs the benefits of the arts to remind us why we are here and motivate our work. ..We were all so proud to know that through our work, we are exposing children and whole communities to an artist of your caliber. You are truly an inspiration! David Miller, Acting Executive Director, New Jersey State Council of The Arts.
We hosted Sweet Potato Pie with Queen Nur and Kala Jojo for a week. Music Educators, elementary students, parents and fellow artists walked away from the performances feeling energized, inspired and respectfully aware of the power each of us holds within - they also walked away singing. Their relationship with the audience was magical - each performance ending with
more people on stage than in their seats. It was a week that illustrated the joy of being involved with Arts Education.
