The residency
allows SPARX to pursue a cherished mission: to inspire
young people to become life-long listeners of concert
music. SPARX performs for several all-school functions
such as May Day and Founder’s Day. They accompany
the Lower School Holiday Concert and the Pre School
Tree Trim. Several times a year, the duo performs for
Lower School Opening Exercises. The Middle School employs
SPARX to collaborate in poetry readings, story telling,
and the annual 6th Grade Naming Ceremony. Frequent classroom visitors, SPARX has assisted Upper School Math
Department chair, Martha Lowther in her Math and Music
unit. SPARX can be heard weekly in the Lower School
building as they rehearse for concerts in the school
and the community at large. Tatnall is the site for
the popular SPARX Candlelight Cabaret Series, and the
school’s new performing arts center will be the
new home of the SPARX chamber music series in 2008. |
