Let's Sing Happy Birthday to...

hmmm...how old would these musicians be this year?

Food for thought! Monica Dale of Musikenisis has compiled a list of famous musicians whose birthdays fall on Sept. 11. She hopes that some of our students who may have birthdays which fall on that fateful day can have something positive to associate with it.

William Boyce (9/11/1711), Friedrich Kulau (9/11/1786), and Arvo Paart (9/11/1935).
