Concert Hall Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Washington, D.C.

The Wind Ensemble of the Tarpon Springs High School Leadership and Music Conservatory was invited to perform in the 2007 International Music Festival in Washington. D.C. This prestigious event included a performance in the concert hall of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It was indeed a special honor to be invited to this event, as only six high school orchestras in the nation get this invitation.

The Kennedy Center, located on 17 acres overlooking the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., is America’s living memorial to President John F. Kennedy as well as the nation’s busiest arts facility, presenting more than 3,000 performances each year. The Concert Hall is home to the National Symphony Orchestra.

65 students traveled to Washington for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, accompanied by many parents and supporters, including Mr. Kent Vermeer, TSHS Principal, and Mr. Wayne McKnight, Assistant Principal. The performance was spectacular!
