2026 Spring Recital
The Spring recital was fantastic! Thank you to ULM faculty and staff for the use of the Emy-Lou Biedenharn Recital Hall. A special thank you to the Sims Bakery (Alena Sims), Dr. Kari Johnstone, and all who attended. Simply attending shows support and encouragement for all students. There were two recitals and both were amazing. Even though so many studetns weren't able to attend, about fifty students performed. Piano solos, piano duets, student compositions and a piano/flute
