Student Recital Canceled- Sunday, Jan. 25th

We are unfortunately going to have to cancel the student recital this year to be held at Concordia. We only had three students participating, and one of these has ended up ill. I am hoping that next year we will have a better response from teachers and students. It seems that this year, the majority are overbooked. However, I have received good feedback regarding the timing of the recital to help with preparation for Solo & Ensemble as well as other competitions. Please look for this event again next year.
