Each season, the Visiting Artists Series works to coordinate inspiring learning activities for area students. That can involve artist-led master classes, on-stage opportunities for students to collaborate with artists, and special projects or performances. Below are a few examples that highlight our ongoing efforts to involve young people in the performing arts.

Six Appeal Vocal Band Presents Master Class for Students
Six Appeal Vocal Band Master Class for CHS Students
The Visiting Artists Series coordinated a master class between CHS music students and the Six Appeal Vocal Band, an award-winning a cappella ensemble. Six Appeal rehearsed with the students and led a discussion about what it’s like being a professional a cappella group. The group also invited the CHS Bella Voce/A Cappella Choir to perform with them on stage later that evening. It was a great experience for CHS music students and the audience members listening to them!
Choir Students Perform on Stage During I AM…HE SAID Performance
I AM…HE SAID Performance with CHS Students
CHS Choir students had the opportunity of a lifetime when they were asked to sing on stage with Matt Vee & The Killer Vees during their presentation of I AM…HE SAID – A Celebration of the Music of Neil Diamond, as part of the Visiting Artists Series. The group was so impressed with the CHS Choir that they asked the Choir Director if the students could perform with them at another engagement later that weekend! The students, however, were already committed to perform elsewhere.
