Four piano, violin, viola, and cello recitals brought students and families together at First Church Knox.
Students at many stages of learning shared their work in four spring recitals. Some made their performance debut, while intermediate and advanced students brought increasing poise, agility, and artistry to the stage.
Recitals celebrate growth and individual musical voices. Younger students are inspired by older students, and experienced students encourage those at the beginning of the journey.

Performance without pressure
Teachers help each student prepare music suited to their experience and readiness. Recitals offer a chance to share what they’ve learned and hear other students perform.
