Solo Recital at the University of Connecticut

On April 4th, at 3PM in the Von Der Mehden Recital Hall on the Campus of the University of Connecticut, I presented full length formal recital that features only Complimentary Percussion Instruments – the first of it’s kind as far as I know!   I played most of this recital at the University of South Florida and Florida State University, in more of an informal setting.  The program is below – if you’d like to check out the program with full program notes, Printed Program.    Also, photos from the dress rehearsal are below too.    Check out my YouTube Channel to see some videos of the recital.
