MKA's Upper School kicks off the start of the Fine and Performing Arts season with "Arts Under the Stars''

On Friday, September 16th over 40 students performed for over 150 guests at "Arts Under the Stars" a new event to kick off the MKA Arts season and officially open the Upper School's new amphitheater. With performances from the Chamber Singers, Advanced Strings and Jazz Trio along with selected scenes performed from the works of William Shakespeare and art from current AP Studio Art students on display, the night was a huge success. Upper School Fine and Performing Arts Department Chair Nicole Hoppe said, "Our first Arts Under the Stars could not have gone better! The weather was picture-perfect, complete with a full Harvest moon rising up over the amphitheater. The music, by Strings, our Jazz Trio and Chamber Singers, was all amazing. The artwork was so cool and the Shakespeare scenes were wonderful. It was an incredible way to kick off the start of the year, the arts season and the new space."
