2020 Young People’s Concert “What Music Means To Me” Poster and Essay Contest Winners

May 14, 2020 //  by NBSO

Every year, we ask our YPC students to write a brief essay or draw a poster that answers the question: What Does Music Mean to You?

And every year, we get so many wonderful expressions of their thoughts and feelings, through the written word, or, their drawings.

We select 3 posters and 3 essays to showcase at the concert, at the New Britain Public Library, and here, on our website.

AND, we select a 4th poster to be next year’s concert program cover.

We are delighted to inform you of this year’s winners:

Poster Contest

Ixchel C., Lincoln School, New Britain
Nahialie P., Jefferson School, New Britain
Monika B., Hubbard School, Berlin

Essay Contest Excerpts

I love how music is so important to me because it encourages me to do my very best and encourages me to learn new things.

Gabrial C., Jefferson School, New Britain

I can’t imagine my life without music. Music connects to the world and people around us. A world without music is unimaginable.

Camden N., Willard School, Berlin

I hope that whenever anybody gets a chance to, they will add music to their lives, because it just makes us feel better all of the time.

Sage C., Wallace School, Newington
