Revisiting a few highlighted moments from our Nov ‘24 session with Milwaukee’s own Klassik!

Our customary teen social hour started at 4 with DJ tunes courtesy of HYIN’s own A Bizz. At 5, Our featured guest Klassik delivered a captivating energy with his opening performances. GWML Director B~Free then led a convo with Klassik on “Music & Sound Design,” as he answered interview & audience questions on how his talent, skill sets & artistic upbringing impact him in the creative career he’s leading. As a special treat, students from the Lab audience were invited onstage with our guest to take part in a live music production workshop, where they used various skills to create an impromptu track in Ableton Live. Finally, we featured our teen open mic segment, with a diverse stage of youth acts that shared amazing talents on stage with original music, covers, singing, rapping & live instrumentation 🧡›

While we take a small pause for the holidays, we look forward to continuing season 8 of Grace Weber’s Music Lab, with our next session coming in January of the new year!

We journeyed back to Summerfest for star-studded treatment & a featured segment at the AmFam House; the premiere venue space that hosts notable musicians from various stages throughout the festival run - including our young stars! Program leader B~Free presented three amazing acts from the Lab program while allowing them an opportunity to perform for the first time at one of the world’s largest music festivals.
