This week’s Backstage Pass takes a look at what TPA staff and visiting artists do to help students create lifelong bonds with the performing arts through campus and community outreach.
Last year, TPA hosted more than 1,800 Austin-area grade school students for a free Youth Performance with Zimbawean a capella quintet Nobuntu. Your students at home can try singing “Izitho Zami” with this lyric and translation sheet.
While performing at TPA in 2019, gospel artist Trey McLaughlin and members of his ensemble, The Sounds of Zamar, stopped by Huston-Tillotson University for a masterclass with Dr. Gloria Quinlan’s choir students.
