Triad Arts with David Ford The Governor\'s School of North Carolina (part 2)July 25, 2012On July 14th the Governor’s School of North Carolina (NCGS) celebrated its 50th anniversary. It's a remarkable program where each summer many of Our State’s best and brightest students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds gather for the pure love of learning and the joy of creativity. At the Governor’s School intellectual curiosity fuels the exploration of the latest ideas in a whole host of disciplines.
One of those is the arts. David's guest today, 2012 Governor’s School percussion student Alex Kim says the orchestra’s focus was on contemporary works by composers including Schoenberg and Penderecki. We’ll be sampling from this year's Governor's School West orchestra performance today.
The NCGS anniversary celebration almost never happened. Last year state funding for the program was cut. Leading the drive to raise the $760,000 to restore the school was Wake Forest University Department of Education professor and Governor’s School Board member Joseph Milner. Today on the program NC Governor’s School Director Lucy Milner chats with TAUC host David Ford about why she holds this program so dearly.
