It draws tens and thousands of music lovers overall of all ages. The director joins us in the studio. How are you . I am fantastic, how are you . Karen for those without not had a time to go to the beantown festival after all of this time, tell us about the city music festival. The City Music Program have in the community. I think it is its 22nd year. It serves over 80,000 students. The scope and range has gone from 26 states, and right now we have i think 39 partners that are being served. Karen it is competitive to get into the Berkeley College of music. I must imagine it is pretty competitive to get into the allstars. How are the musicians chosen . Say is that Berklee College of music has been very intentional of opening up Access Points so that all students can participate in the program. There is a lot of different doors they can come through. And then through the door that they enter, be it a High School Academy or the preparatory, they all audition through faculty from the college that they have to go and look at what students should be put in the ensemble. Karen so that way you get a diversity from around the city and the school as well. That is the richness of the prm. Not only does our diversity come from what is coming in from the community but also from what the college is offering from their faculty, staff, and the families coming in. Karen it must be interesting to watch these musicians grow as they matriculate through the program. It is. Actually the artist you are , looking at today has been with us on a Different Program since the age of 12. So to see her transitioning to not only adulthood but her musicianship maturing is also very rewarding. Karen the theme for this year is jazz, the peace supreme. What does that idea mean, that title . The first thing i would say is peace supreme, it is a state of mind and state of being. The college has done a good job of creating citizens that are looking at being a part of the world on in a peaceful way, so it is authentic but true. Karen i think of love supreme. Yeah, because of john karen john coletrane. Tell us about where you will be performing, the groups performing at the great jazz fest . I understand this group is kicking off the festival on the 24th. You wont be able to miss them because it will be this first sound of setting up the environment. As you come into the in the festival you will be able to be sure to catch the berkeley beantown jazz festival saturday, september 24 on columbus avenue in roxbury. Blocks and blocks of music. You have got to check it out. . Whispers in a breeze upon the summer day i cannot say where all the time goes followed by the shadows of our yesterday have they gone away and leave us all to find out who we are inside our minds . You decide it is time to change sounds that all create such a beautiful melody up in the sky, you and i would go on and on and on and on and on oh how we love oh how we love oh how we love . Oh how we love oh how we love oh how we love oh how we love . . Eeeeohmumohweh . . Hush my darling. . . Dont fear my darling. . . The lion sleeps tonight. . [snoring. ] . Hush my darling. . [snoring. ] . Dont fear my darling. . . The lion sleeps tonight. . [snoring. ] take the roar out of snore. Karen we continue with the berkeley beantown festival music special. Berkeley students, professors and alumni have all graced the commitment to providing entertainment for the boston community. The provost Larry Simpson joins us now to give more on this festivals impact, students, family and the community. Welcome, how are you doing . Larry i am doing great. Karen talk to us more about how the festival changes every year. Larry i will tell you how it has changed over the past few years. Only first got involved, our intent was to bring all of the worlds bies stages, but as time went by, it became increasingly clear to us that we have such a rich, rich array of talent within boston, within berkeley. So now the festival really focuses on the talent, the skills and the people we have right here. We actually think this may be a way for future festivals to to take advantage of the talent in their own community. Karen and of course berkeley is year round. Larry that is correct. We are committed to this. That is why we do the festival. We had an opportunity, should we continue or not . But boston deserves it, the community deserves it, so we are committed, and we will continue to bring beantown to boston. Karen it is a great day, i love it. The theme is jazz, the peace supreme. What does it mean to you . Larry the john coltrane, the love supreme. What it means, we are in some difficult times, some social times of upheaval, unrest, people not trusting each other. But jazz has always been the most democratic form of music. It has always brought people together from every background imaginable. And so we said, jazz the peace supreme was absolutely the best title we could have for this with us today. The city music allstars are here in the studio giving us a preview of saturdays beantown festival. We visited them before last years jazz festival, looking at their polished sound. How it all comes together. Take a look. . Karen that is the sound of respect, excelle that is the sound of berkeleys city music allstars. . Karen the allstars are handpicked from over 1000 students participating in the City Music Program. Winston is the artistic director for the allstars. Winston they play every style. They are very diligent in terms of hard work. Every assignment that was given responsibility to make it happen. . Karen the program itself is the opportunity of a lifetime for bostons underserved youth. Many go on to berkeley with full scholarships. It is helpful to kids in the city who usually cant afford private tutoring. It really has been throughout helpful throughout school for me. Winston this helps a lot of students to really get to know who they are. As an winston working with the students to know my standards, it is really hard. Winston is not afraid to tell you when you are sounding bad. [laughter] winston is very hard on you at first. I was always nervous playing around with him because he is winston. I was nervous like the first, actually i am still nervous around winston. In the City Music Program. It has taught me music is much more than just the notes on the paper. You know that what you are doing is to help better people. He is a great teacher. Karen it is his teaching style that encourages the young allstars to work harder and share their valuable talent. Winston they can teach me something. Karen the tightknit group is giveme material. Winston the key thing psychologically is letting them know anything they want to do musically, this is your crowd, this is what you want to do. . Karen it solidifies the tremendous responsibility which rests on their shoulders. We are playing alongside people that we look up to. You listen to their records, someone is playing in the same festivals. From the city music allstars. It is called no fear. . . I know there is not enough time in the day that can complicate the way that i feel i know it feels like it is swimming again the good is trying to live the good is fatal survival, primal dancing up feeling up your skin seal it up your skin sing it to yourself fear doesnt begin no no, no no, no, no, no, no, no no, no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there comes a time when you are running out trying to figure out what god intended growing up was an easy, but we dont have to be the victim.

Lets begin with our top story for this week. When it comes to applying to college, or even for a summer job, its helpful to show that youve held leadership positions. But what does it take to be a leader . Amelia finds out. Leaders theyre all around us. For example. I mean, there are, like, the obvious leaders like president s and prime ministers and things like that. But i feel like the real leaders are, like, your teachers, family members
