Today we commemorate and remember composer Stephen Paulus, 9 years since his passing.

In addition to composing and conducting, Stephen constructed a glass harmonica — an instrument of 37 bowls mounted horizontally on an iron spindle invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1761. Constructed while a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, it was kept in the Paulus home until Stephen’s passing when it was donated to The Schuber Club.

Indian Trail graduates get the message(s) at commencement ceremony

We're honored to hear about how this graduating high schooler was helped by The Road Home:

Andrew shared an anecdote with his fellow graduates about one of his favorite parts of any school week: the tradition of singing “The Road Home” by Stephen Paulus.

He reflected on the difficult parts of high school and mentioned that singing the song each week, at times, helped him cope.

He urged his classmates to take a note from the song when life becomes difficult in the future, and, “always able to find a way and the road that will lead you home.”
