On April 9, 2016, I performed my senior recital at Illinois Wesleyan University. This was the culmination of my musical performances at IWU, and it was a wonderful evening full of music, nerves, family, friends, and good food.
The program:
Prelude and Gigue from Bach's 3rd Suite in C Major for Solo Cello;
Variations on a Rococo Theme by Tchaikovsky;
Sonata for Solo Cello by Goleminov;
Sonata for Cello and Piano (1st and 4th movements) by Shostakovich;
and Elfentanz by Popper.
It was a great opportunity to perform for so many friends, family members, and professors. IWU holds a special place in my heart, and I will always feel at home in Presser Hall!
Thank you to Kate Van Petten for all the lovely photos! She is my friend in the last photo and is wonderful.
