YOUTH ENSEMBLE!

Many Beacon parents will recall the various kids' musical ensembles that Compass Arts' founder Gina Samardge has assembled over the years. From performances at Randolph and Hudson Hills to more current Rompatom sets, the sight of kids behind a battery of xylophones and drums, ukuleles and recorders, singing their hearts out has come to be a defining Compass Arts experience. And now it is returning in the form of the Beacon Youth Chorus & Ensemble.

Compass Arts Creativity Project classes, ensembles, events and camps are created for the Beacon and surrounding communities for the purpose of building those communities. Our vision is a big one. As a creativity project, we believe that communities are stronger when problem solving skills are encouraged at every age level and that the best way to build problem solving skills is through creativity. Through creative arts exploration students are given opportunities to think, and to think for themselves--to feel empowered by coming up with a story plot twist or an ending to a play or to discover the joy of being able to improvise over a musical accompaniment. We believe that our best work involves encouraging contribution, whether it is a colorful swipe of a brush, a melody or an idea. The essence of what we hope to do at Compass Arts is this, that those sometimes large and sometimes small contributions allow students to evolve into something the world desperately needs--individuals with vision.
