Each student recital reflects the breadth of student musicianship within the department, featuring performances from voice, trumpet, violin, and viola students, among others. While students in the applied music program regularly perform as part of large ensembles, these recitals provide a unique opportunity for them to display their individual artistry and growth as soloists.
The pieces are carefully selected to highlight the progress students have made over the semester, and many performances will be accompanied by pianist Timothy Jenkins.
