DocuSign Envelope ID: F91 CE8F7-37AE-4D5A-AED4-B1 E2AED21 F77 <br /> Location Description All shows will take place in Carrboro Elementary School's school <br /> auditorium. This location is ADA compliant. <br /> Artist Description For the 2019/2020 school year, we chose three artists. In the fall we <br /> will host Korean percussionist Kim So Ra who plays the hour-glass <br /> shaped, twoheaded drum known as janggu. Kim So Ra explores new <br /> rhythmic concepts with traditional Korean instruments and we chose <br /> her as an artist because this is a unique opportunity for our students <br /> to learn more about Korean music and culture. <br /> Next we will host acclaimed actor and playwright Mike Wiley, who will <br /> shine a light on key events and figures in African-American history. <br /> Mr. Wiley will perform his show"Jackie Robinson: A Game Apart" for <br /> our 3rd - 5th graders and they will get a glimpse of Jackie Robinson's <br /> life during an era of segregation in our country. Three years ago, Mr. <br /> Wiley performed for our older students, and we are excited to bring <br /> him back for a new group of students. CES would like to carry on this <br /> tradition so that all of our students get to see at least one of Mr. <br /> Wiley's shows during their time at our school. <br /> Finally, we will host Sonia de los Santos for her show"La Golondrina: <br /> A Musical Journey," a concert reflecting her experiences growing up <br /> in Mexico and moving to another country, learning about other <br /> cultures, and connecting to her own heritage. This show will tie in well <br /> with our dual-language curriuclum and be appreciated by our <br /> multicultural school population. <br /> Are you hiring Yes <br /> multicultural artists <br /> with the requested <br /> funds from this <br /> grant? <br /> What is the total 2000 <br /> amount you will pay <br /> the multicultural <br /> artists with the funds <br /> you receive from this <br /> grant? <br /> How will the All three performances will be a part of the school day and all <br /> project/program be students will get a chance to attend (when age appropriate). <br /> publicized and Teachers will receive information about upcoming performances and <br /> promoted to reach a study guide in the weeks before the performance.
