LAKE WALES – Janie Howard Wilson Elementary fifth grade students were mesmerized by concert pianist Thomas Pandolfi (pictured, center), who performed today (Jan. 30) at the Lake Wales Arts Center.
Students were treated to the free concert as part of the Lake Wales Arts Council’s education outreach program. Pandolfi played pieces by Chopin, Gershwin and Joplin. He also talked about his studies at the Julliard School of Music and his world travels.
“These experiences help shape our students into well-rounded, contributing young people in our community,” said Micky Caban, music teacher at Janie Howard Wilson.
