He wanted to offer his students another opportunity to perform and to provide Covenant residents the pleasure of two dozen children on the stage of the Fellowship Center auditorium of their lovely facility.Mr. Francavilla introduced the program, explaining that the children ranged in age from five or six to 12 and some had been playing for only a few months, while others had studied with him for 6 years. The younger children played songs such as the traditional “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” while one 6th grader played Scott Joplin’s difficult “The Entertainer” to rousing applause. There was one duet and the final song by three graduating 6th graders was a piece for six hands.
In addition to residents in the audience, all 300 people living in the Covenant Village campus had video and audio feed to the auditorium and had the opportunity to listen in. Before the concert began, one resident took a half-dozen piano-player parents on a short tour. It was a neighborly afternoon.
