PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten - Some of the students of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Primary School attended a special school opera concert this morning which was hosted by the Foundation Classical Delight.

The Foundation Classical Delight is a non-profit organization established with the purpose of bringing classical music to our island. They invite annually professional, gifted and sometimes famous musicians to perform.

Getting the students acquainted with classical music is part of children's education and often highly appreciated by them.

"We deeply appreciate this opportunity for our students to meet with the opera artists this morning at this special school concert and witness firsthand another musical genre," remarked School Manger Stuart Johnson of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Primary School.

The theme for the school concert was opera and piano, including four-handed piano works.

Shane Schag and Chun-Wei Kung are well known for their inspiring school concerts and performed at the event held at the Belair Community Center for the various schools in attendance.

"We look forward to many more opportunities such as this one being afforded to our students as our students truly enjoyed themselves while learning to appreciate classical music," Johnson concluded.
