Musical Sprouts students and teacher taste Ukrainian tea.

The Rick Cavender Band was just one of the eight acts that performed for the virtual gala supporting the Musical Sprouts educational program. They closed out the show with the well-known 1960s folk-rock song “Get Together”.

This year’s D’s on Keys was a resounding success, ensuring thousands of students will continue to have access to engaging learning experiences through global arts and cultures in the Musical Sprouts program.
