Children’s Spring Music Recital 2011 Was Extraordinary

Children from the age of 5 to 15 performed Sunday at the Church of the Ascension for a packed crowd of parents, friends, and family.
Over the past year and under the patient tutelage of Pat Hopper these budding musicians honed their skills at piano, vocals, and violin all practicing for the final show that occurred on Sunday.
The musicians, listed in alphabetical order were:  
James Avecilla, McKenzie Blair, Jackson Dodds, Brighton Hamari, Summer Hamari, Grayson Hamari, Nathanial Johnson, Grace Johnson, Johnny Jordan, Max Meyer, Katelyn Osborn, Jeremiah Paulson, Micah Paulson, Pearl Rollings, Hailey Sneddon, and Madison Sneddon.
Every child gave an amazing performance from beginner to advanced. There was not an unsmiling face in the crowd and the pride in the air was palpable. As the concert came to a close, a beautiful performance of Eidleweiss was played as a duet with sisters Summer and Brighton at the keys.  Freshman Johnny Jordan, taught by Brooke Moes, delighted with the minuet on the violin. And the finale…15 year old Nathanial Johnson, with the confidence of one twice his age, sat before the piano and  played the ‘Flight of the Chippewa’ written and composed by himself.
