This is Chris Jenkins, Dean of SPA writing again. I was very excited to see our students' mixed recital on Tuesday night! We call a recital "mixed" when the program has a combination of chamber groups and solo performances. We also were fortunate enough to have a pianist, Ayako Yoda, to accompany the solo performers. I think that everyone played really well tonight, and I was very happy to hear both of the chamber groups coached by Desmond Neysmith, cellist of the Harlem Quartet. His students did a great job. You can see him here with one of his chamber groups; tonight, they performed the scherzo of Beethoven's quartet Opus 18 no. 2.
It was awesome to hear Mirna Lopez, violinist, and Nadeerah Lamour, violist, perform on instruments loaned to SPA by luthier Douglas Cox. We were really grateful that he decided to loan us instruments this year! Only four full days of SPA remain...
