On Friday morning, Tryon Concert Association's President Beth Child and the Tryon Fine Arts Center's Executive Director, Marianne Carruth welcomed students from Polk Middle School, who had gathered for a concert at the Fine Arts Center and chat with marimbist Ji Su Jung, through the Arts Outreach for Kids program. Ms. Jung had performed (along with violinist Timothy Chooi) on the Veh Stage Thursday night as part of TCA's season. She both performed works that demonstrated how the instrument was played with various mallets and answered students' questions.
