Veasley was one of the artists who led a workshop. Others were David Kim, concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Matthew Vaughn, co-principal trombone of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
On July 24, Philadelphia-area cellists of all ages were able to join cellists of the Philadelphia Orchestra on the Highmark Skyline Stage at the Mann’s annual Suzuki PlayIN, according to a statement by ACOSA.
Other highlights of the program were performances by Latin musician Daniel Villarreal and Los Bomberos De La Calle, a Latin music group.
Frank Machos, executive director of the School District of Philadelphia’s Office of Arts and Creative Learning, said that the ACOSA program, which was introduced in 2019, is part of its commitment, along with the Mann, to arts enrichment opportunities for students during the summer.
Veasley said the student musicians will put on a performance Aug. 1 to mark the end of the program.
