Spring 2026 Recital Program
We’re thrilled to invite you to our Spring 2026 Recital at Cullen Hall, located on the corner of Branard St. and Mt Vernon St. on the beautiful University of St. Thomas campus. This is a special day to celebrate the incredible effort and progress of our students—your family members—as they take the stage and share their musical journey.
Our Spring Recital is one of the highlights of the year for our students and families. It’s an opportunity for musicians of all ages to perform, grow their confidence, and share their progress in a supportive setting. We look forward to bringing everyone together to celebrate the work and dedication each student has put into their music.
