On Sunday, December 3 we held our annual Scholarship Donor Luncheon bringing together our generous donors with their scholarship recipients, affording the students an opportunity to personally thank donors while getting to know one another.

Ian Schwalbe, a senior composition major and the recipient of the John Lawrence McElyea.  Scholarship, was our featured speaker while William J. Moody Scholarship recipient and first year masters student Victoria Brodeur sang a delightful piece from The Light in the Piazza with her accompanist Sharon Yi-Hsuan Wu. 

We are grateful for our donors and their generous support and investment in our students. They help us keep the music playing.
