Description

Live broadcast of the Mountain View Spring Virtual Concert scheduled for Thursday, April 8, 2021.

A

Good afternoon, everyone and welcome to the mountain view senior center spring virtual concert. My name is alejandra hernandez and I'm a recreation coordinator for the mountain view senior center for today's virtual concert. We've partnered up with the community school of music and arts, also known as csma I'd like to welcome up program manager, kirsten schallenberg, who will be giving a little background about csma, as well as introducing today's performers kirsten.

B

Hi, my name is kirsten schallenberg and I am the private lesson program manager at community school of music and arts in mountain view, founded in 1968 csma is dedicated to making the arts and arts education accessible to all members of our communities, regardless of age, skill level, background or financial means.

B

Our programs include on-site, private lessons, music classes and art classes for all ages, and I think our youngest private lesson student is four and I believe, our oldest private lesson student is 97., so we really mean all ages, both on-site and off-site preschool programs for art and music, music and art at work for a growing number of companies in the peninsula, and in addition, our art for schools and music for schools.

B

Programs provide art and music classes to over 24 000 students in more than 500 classrooms in 58 schools in santa clara and san mateo counties.

B

The students performing for you today are members of our merit scholarship program, an elite audition only program for our highest. Achieving private lesson. Students, students in the merit scholarship program, are between the ages of 8 and 18 and are accepted into the program based on their high levels of dedication, achievement and talent.

B

The last year has seen a lot of changes for csma, as it has for every arts organization around the world through the diligence of our staff, faculty students and community partners. We have continued to provide our programs virtually throughout our community, including concerts like this one.

B

We would like to thank the mountain view senior center for inviting us to be part of this concert and for allowing us to showcase some of our fantastic merit, scholarship students for you today and now.

That place and its patrons have taken more than I gave them.
