About this slideshow

15) About 100 students from three schools in Brighton – the Edison K-8, Conservatory Lab Charter and St. Columbkille – performed a series of instrumental and vocal pieces for classmates, teachers, parents and local leaders.

The concert showcased the young musicians’ talent and illustrated a historic, year-old partnership between Boston’s public school system, charter schools and Catholic schools.

The gathering celebrated a major financial boost for the innovative collaboration as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced it will give a $3.25 million grant to foster the partnership, formally called the Boston Compact.
