Spotlight on the Arts: Serenity Barrus
Serenity Barrus is a senior at Thomson Falls High School.
“Spotlight on the Arts” by The Paradise Center honors and encourages students in the arts by highlighting their talent and acknowledging the support they receive through their schools and teachers.
Students involved in music have many avenues to achieve their goals. “A road less traveled,” but taken by some students, is the pursuit of perfecting their voice. Serenity Barrus is one of those. A 19-year-old senior at Thomson Falls High School, she is not just a singer, she is an opera singer with a long-term desire to perform professionally. It is no surprise to learn that her favorite musical era is Baroque, a musical genre with roots in the late 1600s and still treasured today as dramatic, energetic, complex, and diverse.
Barrus has loved music her entire life. She recalls that as early as she can remember, she was dancing and singing to music whenever and wherever she heard it. She recalls her grandparent’s patience with her noise and movements. She says they tolerated “a lot of it”!
