Our
2012-2013 season at The Barns kicked off on October 4th with the
Wolf Trap debut of Carlos Núñez, a gaita virtuoso from Spain. Writer
Emily Cary profiled Carlos for the WashingtonExaminer in advance of his dazzling Celtic show at our venue.
Subsequent performers were also interviewed for local publications, including
singer/songwriter Glen Phillips in FaixfaxCounty Times and Broadway songstress Amanda McBroom in MetroWeekly. There will be more features on your favorite artists, so check
back soon!
Simultaneously,
Wolf Trap Foundation’s Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts has
received national attention for its partnership with the
Northrop Grumman Foundation and its focus on STEM Learning Through the Arts. Our Teaching Artists and senior director of education have given the country
insight on these life-changing programs by engaging in interviews and classroom
visits at various locations. You can read about the value of our education
efforts in TheAdvocate, PetersburgProgress-Index, and The HopewellNews.
As
we continue to work towards garnering support for Wolf Trap’s education
programs, Club 66—our young
professionals society—put on the second
annual ROCKtoberFête fundraiser this past weekend. The event attracted over 100
young professionals from the D.C. area for an evening of great food, music,
dancing, and fun. MissA’s Crishana Loritsch was there to chronicle the Halloween bash,
as were photographers from DCMagazine and On Tap.
Perhaps
the most exciting piece of news we’ve shared during this time is the
appointment of Wolf Trap Foundation’s next President & CEO, Arvind Manocha.
The announcement was officially made on October 10th and media
outlets have quickly picked up on it. Learn more about Arvind’s background from
articles on WashingtonExec
and WashingtonPost’s “Classical Beat.”
