Students took the stage with the artists for a three-song program. The performance opened with “Holding Out for a Hero,” sung by the students and accompanied by Weinberger. Wood then performed a solo selection “That Would Be Enough”, also accompanied by Weinberger. The evening concluded with “For Good,” performed by Wood and the students together, creating a heartfelt finale.

“Supporting ETM’s mission and sharing the stage with these students was incredibly meaningful,” said Morgan Anita Wood. “I believe deeply in the transformative power of the arts, and it was inspiring to witness these young performers finding their voices and sharing their joy so fully.”

“It was a privilege to support these young musicians in bringing this music to life,” said Ian Weinberger. “Moments like this highlight how impactful access to music education can be.”
