MAUP#16 - 5th Holiday Concert

Dec. 2020

In the past, MAUP featured the repertoire of the Tuckahoe middle and high school's winter concerts to bring these events to the seniors, who were unable see for themselves the school performances that students are participating in. This December, however, the school strings concert were virtual, so MAUP decided to mix it up a bit. The virtual holiday concert included holiday songs and presented some school activities — a high school chamber ensemble and a song written by Yuri and Jessi for a global studies project, telling the story of the French Revolution from Marie Antoinette's perspective in a musical theatre style.

And don't miss: Tuckahoe Strings' Winter Concert!
