This was meant to be a treat, but it was overshadowed by sad news. University of the Arts, where my husband teaches, an institution that has been a cornerstone of the arts since 1870, announced its permanent closure this weekend. Students, just like the ones from this youth orchestra, will lose their school next week.

That's really heartbreaking 😭😫 As a former orchestra teacher it makes me even more sad to know students won't have this outlet anymore 😢😥 Was it due to funding? I feel that's almost always the case. Sports are so lauded in the US compared to fine/performing arts

Oh I didn’t know you were an orchestra teacher. 💙 They never fully recovered financially after covid and the quality of education kept dropping. It turned into a business more than an art institution. My husband was quite upset about it. Looks like they eventually lost their accreditation too 😕
