“Mount Madonna School has held a special place in my heart and in the life of my family for over 30 years,” said Rivera. “Performing arts is a vital part of the school’s culture, bringing people together and encouraging creative self-expression, a cornerstone of Mount Madonna’s educational philosophy. I am excited to be able to give back to a community that has provided so much support to so many, and to share the stage with my colleagues and current students and alumni.”
“We are so grateful that Gitanjali Lori Rivera is performing with her friends as a benefit concert for our performing arts program,” said Mount Madonna’s Head of School Mary Supriya McDonald.

She added, “As an alumni parent and longtime MMS teacher, Gitanjali’s commitment to the students is a true gift. Her talent as a director and enthusiasm as a music teacher guides students from grades one through 12 in four annual performances, culminating in the critically acclaimed Ramayana! in June.
Gitanjali’s voice and stage presence invites the audience into a heartfelt, deep and rich experience that includes songs from many genres. We welcome all to enjoy this wonderful night of entertainment and connection.”
