What a joyful day of music, storytelling, and community impact! 🐍🎶 FIU's Herbert and Nicole Wertheim School of Music & Performing Arts welcomed Miami-Dade County Public Schools students for Sid the Serpent Who Wanted to Sing, a playful operatic adventure about courage, creativity, and discovering your own voice. Through laughter, colorful characters, and spirited music, many young audience members experienced live opera for the very first time. This special outreach performance reflects CARTA’s impact in the arts, student success, and meaningful community engagement, made possible through strong strategic partnerships with Miami-Dade County Public Schools. By bringing transformative arts experiences directly to local students, CARTA continues to inspire the next generation of creators. ✨ Thank you to the students, educators, artists, and partners who helped make this memorable day possible 🌟 #CARTACreativeForcesAtWork #FIUCARTA #FIUMusic fiu_carta_dean
