Led by teaching artist Erika Kapin, the Brandeis High School After School String Ensemble has been preparing to perform at the annual Urban Arts Festival later this month.  They learned "The Mississippi Sawyer," a traditional American bluegrass composition, and have been working on their stage presence.  To get into the physicality of the music, students practiced moving their bodies while playing.  Check out the video below to see them in action!
