The Ellington Experience

This extraordinary evening will showcase presentations and performances representing all eight of our artistic departments: Theatre, Museum Studies, Instrumental Music, Cinematic Arts & Media Production (CAMP), Dance, Visual Arts, Vocal Music, and Technical Design & Production.

Together, these disciplines will illuminate the artistic excellence, creativity, and remarkable talents of our young artists. The evening will bring together distinguished guests, community leaders, cultural partners, alumni, and supporters of arts education in celebration of the transformative power of the arts.

We would be honored by your presence as we continue to strengthen our meaningful connections and cultivate new opportunities for engagement.

Your attendance would provide a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our students while exploring future possibilities for cultural partnerships, artistic exchanges, and international collaboration.
