Audra gives master class for vocal locals

Audra McDonald (L) whispers instructions to Brookline High School student Maeve
Duggan during a master class presented by the Bank of America Celebrity Series

Our education department uncorked another inspiring event on Friday. They corraled the always agreeable Ms. McDonald into giving a master class for a small
group of lucky aspiring singers at Boston Arts Academy (BAA) on Friday (May 19). One student each from BAA, Brookline High School, and Walnut Hill School in Natick, MA got the chance to sing for, and be critiqued by none other than Audra McDonald herself. BAA’s Jamie Maletz of Charlestown and Shania Mason of Dorchester,
Brookline High School’s Nik Walker (son of CBS4 anchor Liz Walker) and
Walnut Hill’s Carolyn Sproule received coaching
from Audra while a classroom full of student singers looked on.
