2020 Advent Calendar post #1
Hard to believe it's already December! Our 1st post for the season is the first Christmas arrangement written for us - Tim Goplerud's Fantasia on Three French Carols.
Tim had fond memories of leaning these carols in his High School French Class. We have fond memories of premiering it on MPR's 2009 Holiday Sampler and recording it with Baby Blue Arts. Very grateful for Tim, MPR, and Baby Blue Arts!
Ding dong merrily on high, Pat-a-pan, and bring a torch! The Holiday season has begun!

5a goes to Northside Achievement Zone.
"The Northside Achievement Zone (NAZ) exists to permanently close the achievement gap and end generational poverty in North Minneapolis. Together with our partner organizations, we are walking side by side with low-income families as they put their children on a path to college."
Our area has too long allowed an achievement gap to exist. This leads to entrenched inequities and injustices that lead to tragic outcomes. The Northside Achievement Zone group works with educators, parents, and communities to make a better future a tangible possibility, starting kids off right from the earliest stages and ages.
None of us are free until all of us are free.
Wake up to the inequities around us and get angry enough about them to demand and work for better ways. No kid should have systemic barriers to their dreams, aspirations, and accomplishments.
