March is Music In Our Schools Month! We are extremely proud of our very own musicians in the Watson Chapel Wildcat Golden Wave Band and our Wildcat Singing Cats Choir!!
In celebration of Music In Our Schools Month and Women’s History Month, March 1, 2024, was a perfect time to welcome the Marian Anderson String Quartet to visit the music appreciation classes at Watson Chapel Jr. High School. This was an up close and personal experience with the musicians. Students were invited to participate by performing with the quartet. It was very interesting and engaging, and the music was very beautiful and exciting. Students asked and answered questions about the music they heard. Two students (Zoe Coleman and Kenneth Chambers) played along on the violin!
I am thankful for the partnership with Ms. Katherine Williamson from the Chamber Music Society of Little Rock for bringing the Marian Anderson String Quartet to Watson Chapel. The Marian Anderson String Quartet musicians are: Prudence McDaniel (cello), Deidra Lawrence (viola), Marianne Henry (1st violin), and Nicole Cherry (2nd violin). We look forward to partnering with the Chamber Music Society again! Happy Music In Our Schools Month and Happy Women’s History Month!!
