s California continues to remain “Safer at Home” and follow social distancing guidelines, The Music Center announced today that its 32nd annual Music Center Spotlight Grand Finale (Spotlight) performance will take place as a virtual event and benefit, premiering on May 30, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on The Music Center’s website at musiccenter.org/spotlightfinale. The organization’s first-ever virtual Spotlight finale celebrates the talent and perseverance of Southern California’s most talented teens as they complete their year-long Spotlight journey. The event features Tony Award® winner and Spotlight alum Lindsay Mendez as this year’s host, along with performances by each Grand Prize finalist, an inside look at each finalist’s Spotlight experience and messages from notable Spotlight alumni including Matthew Rushing and Melinda Sullivan. “With the safety of our patrons and staff as The Music Center’s number one priority, we’re thrilled to find a way to keep the spotlight on Spotlight,” said Rachel S. Moore, president and CEO of The Music Center. “We made the commitment to continue this program even under unprecedented circumstances and to honor these talented students with a global stage that celebrates their incredible artistry and dedication. We’re committed to nurturing the creativity of young talent, and Spotlight, with its focus on world-class arts training, scholarships and college and career guidance, is an important part of that effort.” With its campus closed, The Music Center transitioned the final round of Spotlight auditions from the usual in-person tryouts to online video submissions. According to Jeri Gaile, director of the Spotlight program, the students persevered, applying one of the important life skills the program emphasizes. “We’re so impressed with our cadre of Spotlight finalists, not only because of their talent, but also because of their ability to adapt quickly to change. This virtual finale will be a powerful culmination of the work they have done all-year-long to achieve their goals through highly valuable real-world learning experiences. Spotlight is truly a steppingstone for students to achieve their dreams and we’re excited to watch these stars shine, both at the finale and in the future.” The Music Center also named the 14 Spotlight Grand Prize Finalists, which include two finalists in each of seven categories:

Moreover, face coverings can become even more uncomfortable during hot weather — which is now here in San Bernardino County. Unfortunately, hot weather does not mitigate the need for face coverings when you are in public. While it is highly unlikely you will be exposed to the virus if you are outdoors and socially distanced, having a face covering
