Music Duo Florella Strings Visits Angell Elementary
Students at Angell Elementary enjoyed the sounds of Florella Strings on Thursday, February 16, 2023. Florella Strings consists of Detroit based violinist Carla Rivers-Johnson and cellist Jasmine James. During the presentation, students learned about rhythm, conducting, music dynamics, and how music influences the world around them. The duo performed music from a variety of genres, from African-American spiritual songs that originated during the period of slavery, to modern pop music with a classical twist.
Angell Principal Vince Gigliotti shared, “The assembly was informative, engaging and encouraged student participation. Florella Strings was a perfect compliment to all the wonderful learning opportunities provided throughout the month to celebrate Black History.”
