A Note from the Performing Arts Department

Tonight’s concert is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the skills our students have gained and the contributions they have made throughout the year.

I am always so amazed by these culminating works and the collaboration our students embrace, working beautifully to make music together. Additionally, this concert allows me the opportunity to revel in the magical work that our Music faculty do with our students. An additional congratulations to Vincent Iannelli, our Music Programs Coordinator and Choral Director who joined us just this year, for his leadership and vision.

Thank you for joining us this evening to support Poly Arts and our students while sharing in this wonderful offering of classical, contemporary, and modern works.
