AROUND THE QUADS
Student Performers Shine at
Steinway
Monica Davis ’05 and
Philip Rapoport ’05 performed Johannes Brahms’s
“Quintet in B Minor for Clarinet and Strings” at the
third annual Steinway Gala Concert on April 4. The other performers
in the quintet were Abigail Ebin ’05, violin,
Columbia/Juilliard exchange student Alicia Lee, clarinet, and Laura
Usiskin ’05, cello.
The concert featured 20 students from the Music Performance Program
who performed seven pieces ranging from Brahms and Bach to
contemporary composer Rodion Schedrin. More than 100 students,
family members, alumni, faculty and administrators attended the
concert, which was held at Steinway Hall on West 57th Street in
Manhattan. Music Performance Program Director Deborah Bradley (who
organized the concert), Dean Austin Quigley and Professor of Music
Elaine Sisman spoke before the performances.
The
Music Performance Program seeks to enable students to develop as
musicians within Columbia’s academic setting by providing and
facilitating opportunities for musical instruction, participation
and performance. The program offers private lessons and sponsors
performing ensembles.
