On Friday, November 9, 2012 Students at Bethune Elementary enjoyed a musical performance by Project Jupiter. Project Jupiter, an orchestra quartet from Illinois, currently plays at Spivey Hall at Clayton State University.
Members of the quartet, Project Jupiter, bring music to life for students at Bethune.
“The Coca-Cola Company was responsible for bringing this experience to life for our students,” explained Jami Pettway, the Principal at Bethune Elementary. “Not only did they sponsor the quartet, but they also upgraded our speaker system for performances of this nature. We are incredibly grateful to them for their kindness and generosity.”
The performance exposed students to a cultural plethora of music played with two violins, a cello, and a viola. The members of the quartet highlighted the different parts of each instrument for the students, while also demonstrating how to create a melody.
