Last week, some lucky Hartt students who are members of the Hartt Salsa All-Stars visited Washington, DC, and they got to perform at Education Secretary Miguel Cardona’s Educación en Acción Summit, as well as had a chance to visit the White House!

The day-long event featured leaders in higher education, best-selling authors, Latino influencers, and even a few celebrities.

Despite the group’s name, the nearly two dozen members of the Hartt Salsa All-Stars come from several of UHart’s seven schools and colleges. The group was founded in 2022 by Hartt composition student and percussionist Nino Ciampa '26, and is the first UHart music group devoted entirely to salsa music.
