Metropolis Ensemble welcomes its 2009-10 Youth Works fellow, Brad Balliett. Over the next year, Brad will work with elementary students at PS11 in Manhattan to teach them about composition and music appreciation… which culminates in a concert featuring the students’ work. Brad is an accomplished composer, avid bassonnist, and active teaching artist. In addition to his work at PS11, he is part of Carnegie Hall’s The Academy, in residency at PS315 in Brooklyn.
Youth Works is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the van Otterloo Foundation.
