On October 3, SSC piano student Jacob Lewack took the stage alongside the 80-piece Firebird Pops Orchestra at Hollywood in Hingham, performing Elton John's “Your Song” alongside professional musicians.
For Jacob, a senior at Hingham High School, it was a moment years in the making.
Jacob began studying piano at age seven and has continued his musical education at SSC since 2022 under the guidance of Huimin Wang. Along the way, he's earned top honors in SSC's piano competitions, explored new instruments and musical styles, and continued challenging himself as a performer.
“Every new piece of music challenges me to grow. The more I study and perform, the more prepared I feel to take on opportunities I never imagined.” — Jacob Lewack
His performance with the Firebird Pops Orchestra was another milestone in a musical journey shaped by dedication, curiosity and a willingness to embrace new experiences.
This GivingTuesday, we're celebrating stories like Jacob's and the opportunities that arts education creates for young musicians across the South Shore.
