Schubas Vocal Showcase
June 2023
On June 3rd, our vocal students made a triumphant return to Schubas and sang their hearts out. With backing from our talented instructors, these young musicians played both classic songs and pop hits. We were truly impressed by our students’ skill and we can’t wait for their next performances! Check out this performance from Elise, who sang “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon.

With an even bigger crowd (and slightly better weather than last year), these young musicians were playing off the energy in the crowd and did an amazing job. To all of our performers, great job! Thanks to May Fest organizers for having us there!
