Late March, Stevenson High School Strings and Dance ensemble ventured off to the Iberian Peninsula. Along with their tour manager, Sam Bull who is a “logistical genius”, the group hit cities like Lisbon, Seville, Granada, and Madrid and performed in Spain’s notable venues the Dieguez Theater of Colmenar de Oreja and Avila’s Auditorio Municipal de San Francisco. Jeremy Beyer, Associate Director of Orchestra and Guitar at Stevenson, kept up an amazing Tumblr account while traveling overseas which made the Encore staff in Boston feel like we were on the trip too! Below are some photo favorites from the blog and be sure to check out Jeremy Beyer’s full Tumblr here: http://stevensonstringsdance.tumblr.com/ Tour Manager, Sam Bull and Directors Enrique Vilaseco, Jeremy Beyer and Radmila Olshansky Delicious!
