Concert Group

Last week a group of students attended Concert Group at City Recital Hall to hear pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet perform Impressionist works by Debussy, Faure, Pierné and Boulez. Bavouzet spoke of his wonderful interactions with Boulez before he died, and provided entertaining anecdotes throughout the concert. It was a wonderful opportunity for all co-curricular Music students to experience such outstanding concerts and learn about the different styles of music.
