NPR: The Orchkids

The Orchkids

Sarah Beyer Kelly, Senior Producer

Harriet Tubman Elementary School sits in one of Baltimore's most impoverished neighborhoods. But when students there get a chance, they can really make some music. The school has a fairy godmother in the form of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's maestro, Marin Alsop. She and the BSO have paired up to help bring a musical education to the kids who get their own instruments to play.
