From the Studio: LC Students First to Perform Trumpet of the Swan

Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane is the first school in the country to perform The Trumpet of the Swan, an acclaimed melding of music and drama in a symphony intended for all ages. The LC Orchestra will combine with Tiger Drama (the LC theater students) to present this 'Novel Symphony for orchestra and actors.'

The work, written by Tony-award winners Jason Robert Brown and Marsha Norman and commissioned by the Kennedy Center, is based on the classic children's book by EB White. Louis, a young trumpeter swan, is born mute and journeys into the world of human music to find his voice and his love.

Drama teacher and director Greg Pschirrer visits with Verne Windham at KPBX with students participating in the show -- coming in on a day off from school!
