CSW Musicians Shine in Community Performance
This past Sunday, four of our students, along with Music teacher Michael Weinstein, took part in a powerful performance of Fauré’s Requiem at First Church and Parish in Dedham. The concert was a beautiful collaboration between Opera UnMet, the Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry in Roxbury, Project STEP, CSW student musicians, and volunteer choir members from local Unitarian Universalist congregations.
Representing CSW were violinists Lyla S. ’28, Kyra L. ’26, McKenna Z. ’27, and bassist Julien R. ’27, who is also a member of Project STEP. The performance featured soloists Sarah Cooper (soprano) and Junhan Choi (baritone), under the direction of conductor Eric Mahl, with noted organist Peter Sykes.
The program also included readings from Cliff Blake’s new poem No Dream Required, making for a moving and memorable afternoon of music and reflection.
CSW—a gender-inclusive day and boarding school for grades 9-12—is a national leader in progressive education. We live out our values of inquiry-based learning, student agency, and embracing diverse perspectives in every aspect of our student experience. Young people come to CSW to learn how to learn and then put what they learn into action—essential skills they carry into their futures as doers, makers, innovators, leaders, and exceptional humans who do meaningful work in the world.
