Honna Austin with Orchestra

Four Winds Waldorf School participated in the Warrenville Arts Council's annual Art Works event. The 7th and 8th Grade Orchestra under the stunning direction of Honna Austin gave a superb performance and our Four Winds booth was a lovely splash of color amidst the visual artists displays at Hubble Middle School.
There were around 300 visitors for Art Works. They experienced exciting performances and viewed inspiring works of art presented by students and professionals. Please click here to read the review and view the photos at Trib Local.
