May 13 Caeli Massey's Sophomore Recital

Stephen Aron

Caeli Massey gave a fantastic performance of a wide range of repertoire pieces for her Sophomore recital. Her program featured several newer works, including favorites by Brouwer, Domeniconi and Dyens, and was balanced out by works by Giuliani, Mertz and Lauro. She played with impressive precision, dynamic range and general confidence, and her innate musicality was evident in every piece. It was a brilliant outing. Her remarkable progress was obvious to all who attended.

Here are some photos from the evening; the program follows. Many thanks to Erik Andrews for many of these images.

Bravo, Caeli!!
