On Wednesday morning June 20th the Norris District Extended Day Class (EDC) summer day-care program students had a very special treat.  The Kern County Philharmonic String Quartet “The Gold” gave a performance at Veterans Elementary where summer day-care is held.  The quartet: Rebecca Brooks 1st Violin, Jean Dodson 2nd Violin, Diane Malecki 1st Cellist and Paulette Shires 1st Viola performed a range of pieces for a riveted audience of K-5th students in day-care.  In addition to works from Brahms and Mozart the quartet played pieces appropriate to their young audience including Danny Boy, Turkey in the Straw, Beauty and the Beast and a Polka.  At the end of the performance Mrs. Brooks explained to the children about each of the instruments and their unique sound.  She also took questions from the students.  EDC Director Sharron Wennihan described the event as “One of the best educational programs we have ever experienced.”
