What an amazing assembly we had. It was a pleasure to witness a musical/drama by Dennis Kobray (brought back by popular demand) whose message was simple and apt for today’s time, especially.
Beethoven was pressured by his parents to perform and excel just like Mozart, however Beethoven came to his own through sheer perseverance, hard work, and above all, practice. He never gave up and created his own special niche in western art music and became the greatest composer of all time (after turning deaf in his mid thirties).
A special shout to Hawk special services teacher as well.
Inspirational and thought provoking assembly.
