It’s that time of year. Student recitals, capstone performances and exhibitions are happening across the arts. At the Herb Alpert School of Music, a very special moment will bring selected K-12 students from across Los Angeles to Schoenberg Hall for the Gluck End-of-the-year Concert on March 22. The performers will come from the school’s Gluck Fellows music outreach program, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. These students perform in chamber ensembles or as solo artists, offering free educational performances across a diversity of musical styles at more than 150 schools, libraries, senior centers and other nontraditional venues throughout L.A. County. The program is generously supported by the Max H. Gluck Foundation and serves as a performance opportunity for students — and a calling card of UCLA excellence.
