RPI Donates Instruments to Troy Schools
Lots of little children in EMPAC.
In a noteworthy gesture, RPI has decided to donate 55 string instruments to the Troy city schools. The instruments cost $24,000 and were delivered in Feb and March to the elementary schools, to help get the third and fourth grade strings program back in place. Our famed EMPAC director Johannes Goebel was apparently instrumental (no pun intended) in getting this to happen. He has cited his growth and love for music while studying abroad in high school in Los Angeles, CA. The Troy students played in a concert in the EMPAC concert hall earlier today, warming the audiences’ musical hearts. No word on why the announcement was delayed until now.
