Director's Note
Pet Sounds
Get ready for one of the most vibrant, imaginative nights of our school year! This coming Wednesday, our amazing Instrumental Musicians and phenomenal Visual Artists are joining forces for their annual collaborative performance—and it promises to be an absolute feast for the senses.
This year, Mr. Amrein has taken the iconic, revolutionary album Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys and custom-arranged it specifically for our talented IM students. Listening to our young musicians bring those classic harmonies and lush orchestration to life is going to be unforgettable.
To make the evening even more extraordinary, our gifted Visual Artists—under the creative guidance of Ms. Gonzales—have been hard at work crafting original pieces designed to flow seamlessly alongside the music. The result? A breathtaking, multi-sensory celebration of art and sound that will feel like a true moment of near-synesthesia. You will see the music and hear the art!
Collaborations like this showcase the heart of what makes NESA so special: passionate students, brilliant instructors, and an inspiring crossover of artistic disciplines. We could not be prouder of the hard work and heart our faculty and students have poured into this show.

DANGER!: Cross-Major Show hosted by Creative Writing - Volunteers Needed!
Danger is the 2026 Cross Major show hosted by Creative Writing. Students pair up with a member of a different major to create a work that combines writing and one other chosen media. Students could work with instrumental music majors to compose a piece that is played during the reading of a poem; students could work with visual artists to display a sculpture, painting, etc. in the background of a reading. The Cross Major show allows students to experiment with art forms outside of their designated major, and allows literature to be brought to life through teamwork and creativity. Volunteer at our link here!
