Nadia Hlebowitsh (IA) teaches kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Cedar Rapids about the cello.
“There was a beautiful moment when the kids spontaneously asked me to play “Amazing Grace” on my cello, and we sang together. It was such a sincere moment. For me, it confirmed what an impact the BYBS Program can have on everyone involved. We made music and memories together. The kids got to play on my cello and I got to believe in their dreams.”
