Music Students Perform Fall 2022 Chamber Recital

On Friday, October 21st, Concordia’s music department hosted their fall chamber recital. There was a wide variety of acts hosted, boasting a range of genres of music. 

Dr. Elizabeth Grimpo attributes the variety that the recital presents to the fact that it is up to the students to prepare. “Students choose, learn and rehearse the music by themselves,” Grimpo says. “The faculty have very little involvement, and it has become one of the favorite recitals each semester.”
