The Red Bank Regional (RBR) Visual and Performing Arts Academy (VPA) kicks off its official 25th year celebration in “Grand” style at the RBR theatre at 101 Ridge Road, Little Silver at 3 pm. Musical pieces will be performed by student pianists selected by many area piano teachers invited by RBR to participate in this momentous occasion. The concert marks the inaugural performance on our new Steinway “Boston” grand piano, which was procured by the RBR Board of Education to augment our award-winning VPA program this year. Admission is free; the public is invited to attend and refreshments will be served.
RBR piano teacher Terry Whelan comments, “We are so thrilled to have this beautiful new instrument as part of our program and wanted the community that supports us to share in its debut. We hope the public will come and enjoy the amazing talent of the young people which so enriches our lives.”
The RBR VPA program was recently recognized by the State of New Jersey for providing a model program in the arts. The RBR Board of Education has been a pioneer in arts education in New Jersey since it established the VPA twenty-five years ago. RBR students have dominated artistic competitions and have gone on to major in the arts in college and pursue successful artistic careers. In addition to students in their sending districts of Little Silver, Red Bank and Shrewsbury, RBR accepts students from over 18 communities in New Jersey on a tuition basis. Students who are accepted into the VPA (after meeting certain academic standards, auditioning and/or submitting a portfolio) may choose from eight majors including: commercial art, creative writing, dance, drama, photography, instrumental music, vocal music and piano.
