And just like that, our Fall Semester is less than 5 days away! GHMS faculty returned from break this week with big smiles and extraordinary enthusiasm for the year ahead - and a little extra buzz thanks to the presence of our new German Diez Memorial Piano Chair, Dr. Sara Davis Buechner. We can't wait for all the ways in which Sara will help us grow! Meanwhile, we eagerly await the return of our students' energy, laughter, and music drifting through the cozy halls of 46 Barrow Street. Still need to register for lessons or classes?

It's hard to believe Summer is almost over, and with that the end of our 2024 Summer Adventures program! We've had so much fun singing, dancing, reading, and crafting art projects together these last 5 weeks! Pictured here, our Adventurers recently finished an exploratory mark making project using fresh flowers and natural materials to learn about growth and decomposition, connect with the environment, and create beautiful pieces of original artwork.

HUGE CONGRATS to Shaina Taub on winning the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical AND Best Original Score! Shaina was a featured Baisley Powell Elebash artist-in-residence in our 2021 Uncharted Concert Series. Her artistic achievements remind us that the best thing you can do to support local artists is allow them the time, space, and opportunity to innovate, take risks, and workshop new material- just as we do with our concert series. You never know who will come through your door, what they'll create, or where it will end up! Shoutout to another Uncharted alum Grace McLean who plays Woodrow Wilson in the musical. BRAVO!
