Performance Lecture: “Taking the First Steps.”

Our own strings teacher Ajibola Rivers has received a grant and we will all have the opportunity to be the lucky recipients of his musical gifts. He will be giving public performances at our school through his collaboration with ARTolerance.

ARTolerance is an arts initiative founded by Udi Bar-David. It seeks through dialogues of varying media to advance the role of the arts, transcending communication boundaries and exploring common ground between different people…  As an ambassador for ARTolerance and its mission, Ajibola Rivers uses his unique skill set to bring diverse perspectives to the relationship between the arts and the larger community.

Performance Lecture: “Taking the First Steps” presented by Ajibola Rivers will talk about healthy mental and physical approaches to our instruments and our music, as well as the many sounds we will hear around us throughout our careers. We will also discuss the importance of openness to input and ideas beyond our own, to enhance our practice and performance experience.
