Tindley Academy Winter Music Recital – Celebrating Talent and Growth

Tindley Academy students perform at San Francisco Conservatory of Music, December 8, 2024

We are so proud of our talented Tindley Academy students for their outstanding performances at last week’s Winter Music Recital, held at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music!

The recital was a testament to the dedication and artistry of our students as they showcased their musical progress through a diverse repertoire of songs, classical and holiday tunes –– “Jolly Ol’ St. Nicholas” and “Merrily We Roll Along” to Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer.” Our students delivered performances that filled the room with energy and cheer.

After the individual piano recitals, our students came together to sing Moses Hogan’s “I Am His Child,” followed by a heartfelt finale of “This Little Light of Mine,” specially arranged by Tindley’s own Artistic and Program Director, James Parrish Smith. The ensemble radiated joy and unity, reminding us of the power of music to bring people together.

A huge thank you to Tindley’s staff, including Administrator Rev. Aimme Rogers-Jones, as well as the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and our dedicated network of teachers and supporters who make moments like these possible. Your unwavering commitment to our students’ growth and success shines brightly.

Tindley Academy is a music program and community that nurtures creativity, builds confidence, and empowers students to find their voice, both on and off the stage.

If you’re interested in enrolling your student in our next cohort, starting January 2025, we’d love to hear from you. Please call the church office at (628) 867-7075 to learn more.

Let’s continue to make music, inspire hearts, and light up the world—one note at a time!
