If finals have you all worked up, you can come and relax with my music at Bellefield Hall. (And if that doesn’t apply to you, you’re certainly welcome to attend as well.) My housemate and I will be baking homemade vegan cookies, too, so you can get music, a break from studying, and some snacking in on a Sunday afternoon.
For slightly abridged program notes—written in a fairly informal style, somewhat like my pieces—continue below.
