Virtual Spring Recitals

Wednesday, May 13, 2020

Faina Lushtak, Downman Professor of Music and Director of Tulane's Concert Piano Series, is proud to present her music performance students' virtual spring recitals. Tulane's Music Performance concentration is a rigorous program of study with a curriculum involving musicology, performance, and composition. While the students were unable to have a formal recital on campus, they dedicated themselves to these outstanding virtual performances. We hope you enjoy the music of these talented liberal arts students!
