Congratulations to all for a job well done!
The February recital turned out to be for students only as a rehearsal for the Castro Valley Solo Festival. Due to an extremely busy schedule for myself and students, we may have to forego a public recital this year. We are looking forward, however, for a group Senior Recital.
