OUR ARTBEAT

We asked NYC high school students to share their Artbeat with us (and they sure did!) at TORCH Music Fest 2008 on Friday, June 6th at Bayard Rustin Educational Complex.

What’s an Artbeat? It’s the unique beat that everyone has that comes from the heart. The high school students in The TORCH Program who planned, promoted and produced Music Fest were thrilled to be able to share the Artbeat of this years’ talented performers.

TORCH student Kerim Joseph and Alum Jaz Cox-Gibbs MC ‘d the preshow and past Music Fest performers MPR Music gave a special performance.

TORCH participants Meisha Cole and Wesley Lum MC’d the show and what an incredible show it was, with rappers, singers, dancers, spoken word artists all expressing their Artbeat! Special guest performer E-LO gave an incredible performance, and all the way from Ohio the Dayton Soldiers showed their stuff!

Stay tuned for information about the special Music Fest Post Show at Virgin Megastore Union Square where the top 3 performances from Music Fest will share their Artbeat with the public!
