Through a partnership with the Garden of Dream’s Foundation, students from across Children’s Aid received the chance of a lifetime: they got to perform in front of a live audience at Radio City Music Hall. As part of the annual Garden of Dreams Talent Show, three student acts showed off their talents that blew those in attendance away.

Stephen and Tavan from the Bronx performed “Jackie and Me,” a skit that celebrated the legacy of Jackie Robinson. Chanela and Victoria, two vocalists from the Children’s Aid chorus performed a stunning Adele mashup. And high school students from Curtis High School in Staten Island, Ngwang and Ahmend, performed an awe-inspiring duet of “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” by Elton John and George Michael.

 “Today” did a segment in advance of the talent show featuring a great interview with Ngawang and Ahmed. Be sure to watch to see how the Garden of Dreams Foundation is giving our students opportunities to achieve their full potential.
