On Monday, Pinnacle students and staff were treated to beautiful weather and a Lotus Blossoms performance by Dennis Stroughmatt Et L’Esprit Creole!
Dennis Stroughmatt Et L’Esprit Creole performed music and songs of the Creole French tradition that are still alive in Illinois and Missouri – “Upper Louisiana” – outside on our lawn. Dennis is fluent in Creole music and Cajun Creole French, so students even got a few lessons in language and culture during the performance.
In addition to Dennis on Creole fiddle, l’Esprit Creole is Rob Krumm on upright bass and Wade Bernard on guitar.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this performance possible! It was great having a few Pinnacle families join in the fun, and some people even got a concert in their cars while waiting for pick-up!
