Thank you to the Benton County Cultural Coalition for awarding Willamette Apprentice Ballet an $1800 grant for the 2020 grant cycle! This grant award will be used to fund our October 2020 Free Children’s Concert for Benton County 2nd and 3rd grade students: a new production of “Petra and the Wolf/Petra y el Lobo,” with a dual language narration (English and Spanish). E.P.I.C Opera Orchestra, directed by David Campbell, will once again collaborate with WAB to present an entertaining and educational concert of live dance and music.
UPDATE, AUGUST 2020: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our new production of “Petra and the Wolf/Petra y el Lobo,” has been postponed until October 26th, 2021. The $1800.00 grant received from the BCCC in 2020 has been carried over into 2021.
Willamette Apprentice Ballet was the 2019 first quarter sponsored nonprofit for Running Princess! Please shop at Running Princess between Jan-March 2019: $1 from every pair of socks purchased during this time will be donated to Willamette Apprentice Ballet!
