On Wednesday, November 18th the String Ensemble did a virtual master class with Dr. Kasia Sokol-Borup over Zoom. Dr. Sokol-Borup was Maple Run String Educator Alex “Rusty” Charpentier’s college violin instructor in Durango, CO. Now teaching at the University of Utah, Dr. Sokol-Borup met with BFA String Ensemble students for an hour to work on bowing techniques and other very helpful and string-specific topics. During that master class, the entire ensemble performed for her and received helpful critiques on their concert music.

This Tony Award-Winning Musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests. The main characters are taken from "Little Red Riding Hood", "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Rapunzel", and "Cinderella", as well as several others. Driven by different desires, such as attending the ball, having a child, meeting a prince, or getting to granny's house, each character is called to the woods where they meet forces that cause them to change. An allegory for growing up, the audience is asked to question the simplicity of childhood and the reality of our quest for "happily ever after". With beautiful music and a lovely dose of both heart and humor, this show is sure to entertain and inspire.
