On Tuesday, Nov. 8, students in the piano department performed several works by Frédéric Chopin in the Lansing Recital Hall. With a total 27 different pieces, the department ensured variety in pieces and talent. 

AN EVENING OF CHOPIN

The evening began with Chopin’s Prelude in E Flat Minor, the first of many standout performances throughout the recital. After each performance, the incoming musician took a moment to compose themselves before playing their piece from memory. Family and friends proudly watched the performances — many drawing out their phones to record the presentation and politely putting them away at the end of the performance to applaud for the students. 

The Conservatory of Music continues to impress audiences with their impressive performances and each student’s presentation demonstrates expertise. The next event hosted in Lansing Recital Hall is the Biola Jazz Ensemble’s Fall Concert on Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Fashion Castillo is a sophomore public relations and journalism major who enjoys going to coffee shops and is an avid concert-goer.  Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve always been an avid concert-goer and music lover. From movie premiers and concerts in Hollywood to watching surf competitions in Huntington, I’ve always enjoyed various forms of entertainment in SoCal.  Growing up listening to 90s punk music with my dad grew into a passion that made the movie Almost Famous my dream reality (even though I wasn’t on tour with a band at 15 years old writing an article for Rolling Stones Magazine). Although I played various instruments throughout elementary and high school, I didn’t have a passion for performing. Journalism introduced me to a new perspective on the music industry–sparking my interest in writing and photography. I realized there were other ways to continue exploring my passion for music and entertainment. When I'm not at a concert, you can find me at the nearest beach paddle boarding or in a coffee shop with a latte in hand. I enjoy watching movies (specifically Wes Anderson movies) and going to hockey games (go Kings go!).
