GRC Fine Arts Cohort

It's the Vocal Music students at the The Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts. Can you spot Lilly Griffett?

Come on out Thursday, May 14 to enjoy this year's final Fine Arts Cohort showcase! The art exhibit will start at 5:45 p.m. in the GRC auditorium foyer, with the performance majors starting at 6:30 p.m., which includes everything from music theater to art song to quartets/small ensembles to monologues to dance to improv and more! We'll also recognize our seniors. Free and open to all!

WHAT A DAY! We had the pleasure yesterday of enjoying the Cincinnati Art Museum, NKU's 2026 dance showcase "Shift", and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra present the music of "Star Wars." It was a great time of learning, fun, inspiration, and camaraderie. Throw in a visit to Findlay Market and some pre-concert lightsaber training, and it was easily one of our favorite days of the year.

Several of our Cohort students participated in Dancer's Pointe's spring showcase this weekend! Bravo on a job well done! Special shout-out to seniors Belle, Rory, and Ella. You can catch their final performance at 4:30 today at GRC.

We're so proud of GRC alums Grace Owen and Emma Hackworth for their outstanding work in NKU's production of "Mamma Mia." Way to go, girls!

The Cohort had a great time getting a preview performance of RDC's "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." It is SO GOOD. Your heart will be warmed. Catch the performances at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.

We're proud to announce that several GRC Fine Arts Cohort students (and many other GRC students) have been selected to attend the Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts! Several students have also been selected as alternates.

Accepted:
Lilly Griffett - Vocal Music
Olivia Root - Instrumental Music (Woodwinds)
Angel Fischer - Instrumental Music (Woodwinds)
Addison Moore - Musical Theatre

Alternates:
Addison Taylor - Vocal Music and Musical Theatre
Ella Pace - Vocal Music
Keaton Grissam - Instrumental Music (Brass)
Josie Ward - Creative Writing
Kailei Winburn - Creative Writing

Only 276 students across all disciplines are selected for this honor. The students will spend three weeks this summer learning from world-class instructors alongside other talented, passionate young artists.

We are extremely proud of EVERY student who auditioned. Taking the step to put oneself out there and prepare an application and audition, especially with something as personal as one's art, takes guts, passion, and belief. We can't wait to see where every student who went through this process goes in their artistic life.

We had a great opening night! You have two more chances to experience this outstanding production. grcmusic.ludus.com

A job well done to our Cohort student Logan Mork on his acceptance to the District 7 Honors Orchestra. Way to go, Logan and Ms. Hall!

Congrats to Logan Mork (bass) for being accepted to the District 7 Honors Orchestra! Two full days of rehearsal ended in a great performance!

Many thanks to Dr. Sila Darville from EKU for doing a master class with our string players today and presenting about Turkish music, particularly their tuning systems, a specialty of hers. A good time was had by all.
