Linking Students with Music

Congratulations to Sophia Academy sixth grader Inallys Salcedo. Her original composition was chosen by Principal Horn of the Rhode Island Philharmonic, Kevin Owen, for his new arrangement of Vivaldi’s La Follia, commissioned by the Philharmonic as part of the Music School’s partnership with Link-Up, a nationwide program in which local orchestras develop a concert that students learn on recorder and voice throughout the school year. At the end of the year, students attend the concert and play along with the orchestra live from their seats. Inallys's composition was one of eight individual student pieces chosen for inclusion in the concert.
