BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE WINTER CONCERT

The six interviews given by the one and only: Deborah Richman, Rory Sloan, Gianluca Bersanetti, John Goldman, Paul MacDonald, and Jane McEneaney were both fascinating and exclusive. The videos taken here show not only the secrets behind the Winter Concert, but the complications and confusions.

Ms. Deborah Richman has included, among her jobs as Head of School, the work she does for the Winter Concert.

Ms. Rory Sloan has a new job at Turning Point School, helping out at the Winter Concert.

Mr. Gianluca Bersanetti has not only a passion for the performances over these many years, but he also has an interest in the arts.

Mr. John Goldman has many passions for all of the instruments, but he has confessed his passion for the trumpet above all.

Mr. Paul MacDonald is the mystery man behind the piano at the Winter Concert. Though most people think of Mr. Gianluca Bersanetti as the piano man of the concert, it is the shadow-man, Mr. Paul MacDonald, who plays many of the songs.

Ms. Jane McEneaney is, in part, one of the most creative forces behind the scenes of the Winter Concert. As seen in Video Six, Ms. McEneaney has told of her jobs in the Winter Concert, such as the lighting, the costumes, and the set.

I have not only seen six videos of creative secrets, but six videos of six people doing as much as they can for the kids around them. Ms Jane McEneaney has made not only the show colorful, but inspirational. Mr. Paul MacDonald, despite his lack of recognition, is dedicated to the Winter Concert and the students around him. Mr. Goldman has not only his love of instruments, but his desire to impart that love to his students. Ms. Deborah Richman has the second greatest job in the Winter Concert, to make sure that every kid will have fun and be safe during these joyful performances. Ms. Rory Sloan is not only passionate for her arts, but for the arts of the children at Turning Point. MR. GIANLUCA BERSANETTI (applause!) is the biggest part of the Winter Concert in more ways than one. He has dedicated time during his life to make these joyful performances. He has taught the kids the songs they will perform. He has gone through the madness they have given him over these years. And he has no less work to do for the next Winter Concert. (applause!)
