Description
In this episode of Inside Hopkins, we journey over 1,800 miles to the heart of Cuba. This spring, students from the Hopkins High School band, choir, and orchestra experienced a once-in-a-lifetime immersive experience designed to promote global citizenship through the universal language of music. Superintendent Dr. Rhoda Mhiripiri-Reed and our guests reflect on what it meant to travel abroad, how Cuban culture shaped their perspectives, and the role of music in building connections and serving as a universal language.
You’ll hear how this trip reinforced core values we champion in Hopkins: empathy, confidence, and being well-traveled and globally-minded. A fair warning, though…this episode may make you want to salsa dance, book a flight, or join the Royals band!
Guests:
Nora Tycast - Hopkins High School band teacher
Cristian Cisneros - sophomore at Hopkins High School
Isabelle Mayer - senior at Hopkins High School
