Soul Endeavor Private Lesson Recitals
2023-11-05, 2023-11-04
This exciting event features two days of highly diverse, brief recitals from the talented and hard working music students at the Center. These students study and perform musical works that can range from bebop and jazz classics to piano compositions of the Baroque, Classical or Romantic Periods, as well as rare Mexican regional trio music with violin, jarana, and huapanguera. You may even hear rock ballads and vocal Opera standards! It is an especially inspiring opportunity for children to see other youth across a spectrum of experience and age levels, and perhaps find an instrument and style that calls to them.
This is a free event.
Performance times and schedule TBA
