"2 Chicks and a 'Cellist and guests" was created to bring the hands on music experience to students in schools, and as a community outreach. In addition to its family concerts, the group presents special short and varied programs to school students to give them a taste of all kinds of music and to involve them actively in the performing experience. The ensemble is currently in residence at The Hudson School.
The Hudson School, a small, independent school for grades 5-12 accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, was founded in 1978 by Suellen Newman. Throughout 2008-09, the school will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of its founding. The Hudson School accepts students from diverse economic and ethnic backgrounds based on their academic promise and intellectual curiosity, not their financial ability. To these students, the school offers a balanced and rigorous curriculum - nearly 150 different courses or activities a week, not to mention trips and dramatic performances, musical recitals and athletic events. A community of scholars, it offers academically motivated and creative children a rigorous and broad college-preparatory curriculum with a strong emphasis on the arts. Visit The Hudson School at
