The Gloucester Music Club brought its 2013-2014 season
to an magical close on Saturday with a pair of entertaining
recitals that showcased the diverse talent of some of
the area's youngest musicians.
The
earlier of the two rectials featured several outstanding
performances, most notably Amy Li's spell-binding rendition
of Debussy's "Claire de Lune" and Dorian De
Luca's flawless version of Alexander Scriabin's "Etude
in C#m Op 42 No 5".
Other
notable performances included Meghan Lau's rendition of
Kuhlua's "Sonatina in A+ Op 59 No 10"; Angelina'
Zheng's recital of Chopin's "Nocturne Op 9 No 2";
and Wei Lin Zhang's renditon of "Etude Allegro"
by Yoshinao Nakada.
Lucy
Whichelo brought a smile to the older members of the audience
with her rendition of the Beatles' "Let it Be"
and Reta-Anne McKay inspired everyone with her vocal performance
of "Colours of the Wind" from the Disney Movie
"Pochahantas".
The
Gloucester Music Club is an offshoot of the Gloucester
Music Teachers Association. The series of four concert
recitals is held throughout the school year to give students
the opportunity to perform in front of an audience.
It
is also meant as a lead up to the Kiwanis Music Festival,
which is held every spring, and the Royal Conservatory
of Music exams whish are held in the late spring and early
summer.
