Reprinted from the Raptor Report

Students most recently performed at Bishop Gadsden.

This past Sunday, January 18, several members of the Music Club performed for the senior residents at Bishop Gadsden. A wide-range of musical styles and instruments were represented. The hour-long program started with classical pianists Fanny Cheung, Jamisen Collier, Noa HaLevi, and Selina Pi playing repertoire by Chopin, Haydn, Schubert, and Debussy (respectively). Several duets (involving guitar, voice, and piano) then followed. They included:

 

“Just a Boy” by Angus and Julia Stone: Kat Koval and Blake Farrell
“Blackbird” by the Beatles: Kat Koval and Zach Zuber
“Scarborough Fair” by Simon and Garfunkel:Jessica Wright and Selina Pi
“Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd: Jacob Gleaton and Nick Cercio

 

In fact, there was even a five-member band (Tony Reda, Blake Farrell, Maddie Steen, Peter Sterckx, and John Pavlides) that performed Falling by the Lumineers. In addition, several guitarists (John Pavlides, Emily Rojas, Madeline Richards) and Xiaolan You (flute)  also amazed the audience with their musical talents.

 

Tiffany Yeung (violin) and 3 of her friends from SOA concluded the program with a moving performance of Canon in D Major. The seniors were delighted to have such talented young musicians perform for them, and the musicians can’t wait to visit again soon!
