As a recent graduate of the School of Music, I found this performance especially enriching as it reminded me how quintessential joy is in performing - embracing the love and joy we feel as we perform for others is part of the show, and this was clearly felt as I looked out upon the faces of young and old enjoying a night of refined, humanistic music. I also must concur with Professor Ellis, who remarked during the show’s intermission, “It’s been such a joy to get to actually meet adjunct faculty who are not in my area… it’s been so fun to get to know them and collaborate with them - hope we get to do it again!” Overall this adjunct faculty spotlight concert was a joy to experience and left myself and the audience enriched, inspired, and filled with the music of the night.
