Members of the Hochstein Youth Singers have been working on adding to the mural in Room 11, where the HYS rehearses. Before they left for Boston, Director Maryellen Giese shared some photos and a cool story with us.
While they were working on painting the mural a few weeks ago, they had a visit from Hochstein parent – and RPO principal oboe – Erik Behr. He was waiting with his daughter, Ella, while older daughter Kaia was in her cello lesson with Kathy Kemp. They came in to check out the activities.
Maryellen said, “I think that wall needs an oboe on it, don’t you?” Erik replied, “Yes, surely!” So immediately Bea and Willa Freeman added an oboe to the wall!
Stay tuned for more photos as the mural progresses.
