on Thursday, March 29 throughout the school day, PS 321 will be filled with the sounds of Early Music from the Renaissance period as instrumentalists of all sorts descend on the school for a Renaissance Revolution! In October, a similar infiltration took over the school as nearly 20 cellists performed the music of Bach in every classroom. See SymphonyNOW’s video report from PS 321’s Bach Invasion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=prk_9lOFF80  Media coverage is welcome with advance notice.
