Students are chosen by their instructors to perform at the recitals and the criteria require students to have been involved in a music ensemble throughout the quarter.

For both these performances, this our students’ time to shine in the spotlight and to have an opportunity to perform in front of their peers. This is an invaluable experience for our students to build confidence musically through focused preparation, and the opportunity to perform in front of an audience helps them develop their stage presence. Everyone is welcome to attend in support of our student performers.

Hello,

·         Want to build community within our own community of SCC employees? Interested in hosting an informal conversation about a particular practice or quandary?
