I thought
you might be interested in this photograph taken of Southwest students and
Alums supporting the locked out musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra. We met as
part of the larger group "Young Musicians of Minnesota" this weekend,
working on compiling a support video and writing letters to Mayor
Rybak and Governor Dayton.
The six of us, amongst many other students
have studied with the members of the orchestra privately, have worked with them
in sectionals as part of Minnesota Youth Symphonies and Greater Twin Cities
Youth Symphonies and we are also feeling the trickle down affects of the
lock out. Left to right, the students pictured are Hannah MacLeod, 2011
graduate, currently studying music as NYU, Fiona Kelliher, current Junior, Clara
Engen, 2011 graduate, currently studying music at Oberlin College, Marja
Ronnholm, current senior, going on to study music at St. Olaf, Nora Doyle,
current junior and Emma Richman, current sophomore.
Thank
You,
Hannah MacLeod
Southwest High School and Minneapolis Public Schools do not endorse a position on this issue. That is left to the thoughts of each individual. We do appreciate that our students act out their passions and commitments in appropriate ways.
