HEARD

ARTS-IN-ED

Heard offers school performances, presentations and workshops for children & students ages pre-K through college level.

We have been part of the BOCES Arts-in-Education program for over a decade. It's a great organization that provides funding to help public schools underwrite the cost of our programming. Click here for our listing in the directory: https://nysartsenrichment.org/details?sku=387.

Heard's multicultural concerts include musical influences and instruments from Ghana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Brazil, Cuba, the Caribbean, The Balkans and Ireland--just to name some major influences.

A typical Heard residency will be 1-2 days long, and include an interactive all-school music/dance concert assembly as well as West African dance workshops for students. We also provide an accompanying slide show.

"The musicians of the group “Heard” brought their contagious enthusiasm into our school, along with their knowledge of world cultures and music—all of it made for a very unique spin on celebrating Earth Day. It was inspiring and led us to a place, through the arts, of wonder, excitement and deep respect for our planet.”--Kelly Magoolaghan, Susan Odell Taylor School, head
