The International Academy Music Department 2019-2020 Recognition Program Just as nearly every aspect of life has been upended this spring, the abrupt and unprecedented end to the 2019-2020 school year meant the cancelation of festivals, final performances, and countless year-end traditions. While the lack of concerts left us without a program to print, we would feel remiss if we did not take a moment to recognize the many accomplishments of our students and ensembles, and perhaps most importantly, bid a fond farewell to our IA Music Class of 2020. Please join us in congratulating all of our students and their many accomplishments listed in this program!
