Students Perform at 2024 Spring Chamber Recital

On Sunday, March 24, Concordia’s music department hosted its spring chamber recital. Chamber recitals, given once each semester, allow students to facilitate, practice, and perform pieces of their choice in small, or “chamber,” ensembles. Students’ ability to choose their own pieces opens the recitals to a variety of musical genres, instrumentations, and arrangements.  

Six ensembles performed at this spring’s event, which included both vocal and instrumental performances in the recital hall of the newly renovated Borland Center for Music and Theatre.
