Music performance majors typically present two solo recitals during their time at 红灯区色情片: a 30-minute recital that caps off their junior year and an hour long one at the end of their senior year to showcase all that they have learned!

And, student recitals are not just limited to performance majors! Every student in the music program may elect to perform a recital. Invite your friends, family, and everyone you know to experience music in a way that only you know how!
