Well my first recital as a grad student at MSU has officially passed. I had a chamber recital as a member of a2 percussion this past weekend. The concert was a success as our first event and I look forward to all the work I will be able to do with Kelsey Tamayo in the future. Working up a recital with another individual was quite an experience and one that I think I will continue to learn from in the coming weeks as Kelsey and I plan what lies ahead for us. There will be more coming on that soon. In the meantime, here are some pictures from our recital!
