Some gifted students at DeWitt Clinton Elementary, in Rogers Park, are doing the unexpected - they are producing a version of one of Mozart’s last works: La Clemenza di Tito, or The Clemency of Titus. The cast includes students from an English as a Second Language class.

Northwestern University producer Sara Fay narrated this story. It was produced by Sarah Sumadi, Julia Mullen Gordon and Tyler Yarbrough.
