Every teacher has them, students who risk using their gifts and talents, and shine. Often it’s hard to keep track of all the creative things students and ex-students are doing, but I like to try.

Today one of these bursting-with-talent students was featured in the Tri-City Herald, Julien Malard.  Julien shines in just about every area you can imagine. I was priviledged to work with Julien in one discipline we both love, writing. On Sunday, May 6th, Consort Columbia will be performing the world premier of his poem, “ Ode to Spring.” It’s not often a 13 year old’s poem inspires a concert, but Julien is an unusual student. And Julien is willing to share his talents with us, and we are richer for it.

May 6th  CUP church at 3 pm.
