About this Event
Join us for an unforgettable Musical Evening of Giving in support of the Whistler Waldorf School!
Waldorf education places a strong emphasis on the arts as an integral part of learning. What better way to celebrate and support WWS than with a recital? Join us as we come together to celebrate our community and the transformative power of the arts in education.
