Adaline Scott shows off their pianist skills at the Honors Recital.
On Oct. 22, the Doane University Music Department held its annual Honors Recital at 7:00 p.m. in Heckman Auditorium, highlighting the hard work and skill of the participating music students across various performing arts groups.
This event celebrated the students’ achievements and showcased the depth of talent within the department. Among the featured performers were sophomore Ella Ningen, senior Sam Hartman, sophomore Lilith Umberger, junior Marty Foery, sophomore Raegan Smith, sophomore Ashton Barber, junior Adaline Linscott, freshman Joe Reimer, sophomore Eme Starbuck, freshman Caleb Panning, junior Jules Harlow, sophomore Bryan Alvarado and senior Paige Pulte, each bringing their musical style to the stage.
While most performances were vocal, the evening also included a Piano Solo by faculty Adaline Scott and a Marimba Solo by Alvarado, which added instrumental variety and demonstrated the range of students’ abilities as well as adding to the evening’s well-rounded program.
Honors Recitals are a prestigious opportunity within the department, allowing students to demonstrate their technical skills and dedication before faculty, peers, and family members. Each performer demonstrated excellence and commitment to their forms of art and the recital offered a platform for these students to celebrate their progress in their chosen disciplines.
Looking ahead, the next event for the Music Department will be Cooper McClure’s solo recital on Oct. 29 at 7 p.m.
