ZELMAN BOKSER: "None of it, for this particular group, none of it is a stretch, technically. But learning so much of it in such a short time, that’s a big scramble -- and they have to know it from memory."
BARBARA KLEIN: The students, including this fourth-grader, were excited for the big day.
PETAL JADEO: "My name is Petal Jadeo and I was really surprised, because we never, ever, ever been to play to Carnegie Hall in our lives!"
One week later, she and her classmates were there. The students wore new T-shirts. They shared the stage with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and other schoolchildren. Carnegie Hall was filled with students from all over the area.

Afterward, the students from PS 75 went to Central Park to eat some lunch and talk about the concert.
LIZBETH NUNEZ: "Hi, my name is Lizbeth Nunez. I felt very excited, but when I was looking at the people I was like "Whoa!" More than a thousand or one thousand five hundred people were there.”
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: A week later, the school year was over, and it was time for Nathan Schram to say goodbye to his students.
NATHAN SCHRAM: "I just had my last teaching day today and it was, certainly, bittersweet. It was definitely, hands down, the hardest part of the program."
Throughout the year, as a fellow of the Academy, Nathan Schram got the chance to perform in many different places in New York. And he got the chance to perform with some of the biggest names in classical music. But, unlike his students, he never appeared in the main auditorium at Carnegie Hall. Nathan plans to keep working on that goal when he completes the second year of his fellowship with the children at PS 75 in Brooklyn.
