It was a joy to see everyone together again at our Spring 2022 Studio Recital on Zoom! We had 14 performers, each presenting pieces they had diligently prepared over the course of the semester. The recital featured a diverse range of music, from Classical to contemporary, showcasing the students’ growth and versatility. With an audience of over 50, the event was filled with applause and encouragement. Congratulations to all the performers for their dedication and exceptional performances!
