Cardigan’s Fall Concert: A Virtual Celebration of Music

“In the moments that we are apart and in the moments that we are divided, the arts have a special role in connecting all of us,” Dean of Academics Jamie Welsh reflected at the beginning of this year’s fall concert. While many of the physical seats in Humann Theater were empty in order to maintain social distancing protocol, the virtual seats were full. For the first time ever, Cardigan’s fall concert was livestreamed and families from all over the world had a chance to witness the creative talents of Cardigan’s students. 

As Director of Music Kevin Franco shared just before the first notes of music filled Humann and were broadcast all over the world, “The one thing that is the same as last year is the quality of the performance and the amount of hard work that these boys have put in.” The pandemic has changed many things about Cardigan Mountain School and its daily routine, but it hasn’t changed the commitment of the Cardigan boys to their educational journey, both academic and artistic.
