Click here for photo highlights of the memorable event including the class photo taken on the steps of an historic building at Longy, award winners and guest speaker, the adventuresome cellist Matt Haimovitz, who played an impromptu J.S. Bach solo and gave the class a rousing sendoff: "Be creative,
resourceful and a fighter
for the music you love."
