Silk Road Project, Cristina Pato…Working with fellow Silk Road Ensemble member Shane Shanahan and Turnaround Arts in Des Moines proved to be one of those occasions in which you see the transformation of the kids in just one morning: the excitement of knowing a new musician (Shane) and the familiarity of meeting a returning one (me) along with the wonderful job Des Moines is doing in integrating the arts in their school system. They have created a beautiful atmosphere of joy and respect, all of it through the arts.

ABOUT US

Turnaround Arts is a national program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It was founded in 2011 by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, a White House advisory committee on cultural issues, under the leadership of former First Lady Michelle Obama. The program is based on the premise that high-quality and integrated arts education can strengthen school transformation efforts, boost academic achievement, and increase student engagement in schools facing some of the toughest educational challenges in the country.
