Holyoke High North Campus

Four-time Grammy nominee and creator of Afro-Rican jazz Dr. William Cepeda joined HHS North's instrumental music students for a three-day workshop last week. Dr. Cepeda, whose work incorporates traditional Puerto Rican rhythms and styles with original melodies, brought several of his own compositions to share with music students during the residency. Wind, string, and percussion students studied and rehearsed with him before giving a lively performance on Friday.
