All Events Take Place at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts
Saint Paul Public Schools and Ordway Center for the Performing Arts produces an annual Honors Concert and Art Exhibit to showcase the exceptional student talent in the Saint Paul Public Schools. This year’s event is on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 and will take place at Ordway Center.
In its eighteenth year, the 2009 event will further build on its mission to provide dedicated young artists in the public schools with a professional concert and visual arts exhibit and in addition, performance art will be part of the event. Over the years, the Honors event has showcased the musical and artistic talent of more than 6,000 Saint Paul Public Schools’ students through vocal, instrumental and a visual art exhibition.
The performance — including band, orchestra and choir—will be on Ordway Center's Main Stage under the direction of guest conductors. Performance art students will respond to selected visual art as it is projected behind the students on the main stage. In May, the College of Visual Arts will partner in hosting an art exhibit and opening featuring the student art.
The Artist Reception with digital images of the art exhibition will occur from 5:15p.m.-6:15p.m. The World Party, featuring junior high students, will take place from 6:15 p.m.-6:45 p.m. The Concert and Performance Art will begin at 7:00 p.m
