May 3rd, 7:00 PM December 4th, 7pm in the Music Building’s Recital Hall. I’d like to thank everyone who came to my recital last night! It was a huge success and went very well! I’m touched by all the support and encouragement I’ve received and can’t wait for what waits in the future! Two weeks from now! Funny news: had to move my recital date up! I would like to say it’s because I just wanted to get it done sooner, but the reality was a spacing issue. No worries though! Make sure if you put the date in your calendar to change it. The new date is November 1st, at 6:30 PM- same place. Very excited! This Wednesday, my piece called “the emotionality of a machine”, is going to be released on @mostlymodernfestival ‘s YouTube! Performed by the American Modern Ensemble, I’m super excited for you all to finally see it! stagnation - November 22nd at 6:30 PM
