New World Opera Music & Dance School raising its visibility<\/h3>\n
\u00a0
An outfit called New World Opera Music & Dance School has been operating for a couple of years at 307 Washington St. (aka, the Rice House) adjacent to UU Wellesley Hills, but many in town might not know this.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The school will become more visible this year, however, as it installs an exterior sign (the Design Review Board OK\u2019d it this week) and updates its web presence<\/a> to include more info about the school.<\/p>\n Co-founder Bingchuan Wan and his wife Jingyi Huang, both graduates of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in China and the Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, are behind New World Opera. They used to run their school out of their home, but that got crowded and loud, so they expanded into the Wellesley location, Wan says.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New World Opera has about 200 students and has become popular within the local Chinese community for classes in everything from opera and dance to piano and violin, Wan says.<\/p>\n The school will celebrate its 5th anniversary with a public performance at Wellesley High School on March 7 at 7pm.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0 <\/p>\n According to the latest research, the average wait to see a family medicine physician in Boston has climbed to 69 days, one of the longest in the country, while local emergency departments often report waits of four hours or more.<\/p>\n \u201cThe concierge model allows me to be available to my patients whenever they need me,\u201d said Dr. Dick. \u201cAnd it means I can go well beyond treating urgent issues to serve as a true partner in health. I have time to listen, uncover and address root causes of illness, emphasize prevention and a whole-person approach. That simply isn\u2019t possible within the constraints of a typical 15-minute primary care visit.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\nExpand your reach (and support local news) by\u00a0advertising on Swellesley<\/a><\/h3>\n
