"Your program has such substance and style. Our students are not only entertained, they're captivated. They leave the venue singing and dancing, and that quickly evolves into conversations on race and gender and society! If 'connections' are your goal, then you've exceeded expectations. There are hundreds of thousands of students in Philadelphia who deserve these same opportunities!"

-Kelly Davenport, Principal of Freire Charter School, Philadelphia, a partner school* since 2008 

*Partner schools bring the same group of students to Bridge Sessions three times a year to deepen their experience of the music.
