On Saturday, October 28th, we had a total of 31 students participating in our annual Fall Masquerade/Hallowe'en Recital! Students came from the studios of Dr. Patricia Wood, Wendy Ge, Janna Warren, Juanita Madland, Dr. Haewon Yang, Aejin Chang, and Kim Bakkum. Students performed on the Steinway & Sons piano at Fuller Lodge. The winners from our PMTNM NE-I Honors Competition were our guest artists, and they rounded off the program at the end. This was a great performance opportunity for them, as they will compete in the state competition in two weeks on November 11th!  Fuller Lodge was completely packed, and we ended up setting up more chairs to accommodate the music loving audience that joined us. Costumes were optional, but we had plenty of students that dressed up and made the event that much more festive and entertaining. Many thanks to Ellen Scudder, who organized this wonderful event. We hope that you will join us next year as a performer, or as a supporter of our bright young musicians.
