The “Back to Bach” Project

Big Picture Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Rye students and Rye Middle School art teacher Kim Tamalonis, invites elementary, middle, and high school age participants to a free interactive workshop, which will take place in the Rye Library meeting room:https://www.ryelibrary.org/  Kids will have the chance to work directly with Rye, NY cello prodigy, Sean Yu, and his friends from the Back to Bach Project, all members of the Juilliard pre-college program. Demonstrations, solo, and chamber performances will follow an initial presentation, all ending with a quiz and a prize for an audience member.  The Back to Bach Project is a global initiative to inspire music and arts education among children, and to teach the value of hard work and passion.

Mr. Yu, a member of the distinguished Juilliard pre-college program, a freshman at Rye High School, and regional manager for the Back to Bach Project, initiated this exciting collaboration between the Back to Bach Project and the Big Picture Foundation.

“The Back to Bach Project consists of young outstanding classical musicians and artists. Many of us have won prizes on the national, as well as international levels. We volunteer our time to visit elementary schools, libraries and community centers, to share a love of making music and the arts that cannot be contained!”   Noah Lee – Founder and President – The “Back to BACH” Project. – from the Back to Bach website: https://www.backtobachproject.org/

With chapters in 26 countries, Big Picture Foundation empowers kids to use the arts to build a global peer network and to contribute to their local, national, and global communities. As a founding member of the program, Sean Yu has contributed art and music videos to three annual online global galleries a year and to a range of other events. He also contributed a solo performance to the 2018 BPF global “We are the World” project. https://bigpicturefoundation.org/2018/05/29/we-are-the-world/
