Piano & More is thrilled to host our upcoming field trip to the Kennedy Center this month, celebrating Duke Ellington with the National Symphony Orchestra. Duke Ellington, a jazz pioneer, reshaped music with his innovative compositions, blending jazz, classical, and popular music seamlessly. His influence transcended genres, shaping the landscape of American music. The reputable Kennedy Center located in Washington DC provides the perfect venue, amplifying the significance of the event.
Ellington's legacy extends beyond his musical contributions as he was a trailblazer for racial equality in the music industry, championing diversity and inclusion. Through his music, he challenged societal norms, leaving an indelible mark on history. Led by Teacher Abby, this student field trip is now fully booked! Our students will witness Ellington's genius firsthand, experiencing a concert specifically designed for young audiences and performed by the prestigious National Symphony Orchestra. As we pay tribute to Duke Ellington, we're not just attending a concert; we're honoring a visionary artist whose impact transcends time. We can't wait to write more about it in our next blog & newsletter. For more event details, visit the Kennedy Center website:https://www.kennedy-center.org/nso/home/2023-2024/duke-ellington/
