A new friend an old friend.

Our hope is to create connections through music…across oceans, to the audience but most importantly with each other. Our final photo challenge was take a picture with a new friend and an old friend.

When you are shacked up with each other for 10 days you learn about each other. Like who is the last to breakfast or who likes to sit in the front of the bus. But you also learn who likes your jokes, who doesn’t like your jokes but still laughs. Who you can share a gelato with and who you can count on to help carry your luggage up 400 ancient steps

Our final day was filled with song and laughter and some tears.

We are deeply grateful to our chaperones, to our students to you. New friends and old. We will see you soon.
