tougher issues you are dealing with.” George E. Miller
Covid-19 has created an opportunity to explore new and innovative ways to bring art
and culture to the community. During the Spring 2020 semester several virtual events
were held to celebrate the arts at Kish.

April is national Poetry Month. Kish held the Fifth Annual Kish Poetry Open Mic event,
virtually.
Spring 2020 Music Recital
Students enrolled in Kish’s private music classes performed selections from their
semester of study in voice, piano, and guitar. Sit back and enjoy the sounds of classical
works and maybe an original piece or two.
Virtual Performing Arts
The Kish Performing Arts Club members had to cancel their spring play because of the
pandemic. Instead, they put together two virtual group performances on Zoom, a reading
from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and a reading from The Humans by Matt Haig.
This video combines individual student performances, including a clarinet solo, two
original poems, a song from the musical Wicked, and an uplifting monologue.
