South Hills Children’s Choir

Grable Visitor Center

Winter’s wonderland beckons us to the windowsill, the doorway, and over the threshold to the crisp outdoors. A garden, usually so full of life and warmth and growth, stoically stands barren, frozen with snow. But look closer and listen. Fractals of frost and the shimmery twitter of a bird radiate with life in the beauty of this hoary winter tide. Cantores, elite singers from the South Hills Children’s Choir, share these ballads from a winter’s garden to bring warmth of heart to this year’s Winterfest.

Frick Art Museum

Have you wondered what life today is like through the eyes of a child? Through My Lens amplifies the voices of 4th and 5th graders in The Maker’s Clubhouse’s after-school program* as they show what it’s like to be a child through the lens of their own cameras. Students learned to creatively leverage their stories to advocate for change through the use of photography and Photovoice methods. Can you imagine how these young voices will serve as key-change agents as our future develops? Picture it!
