One of the incredible opportunities presented by this merger is access for GW music students to the Corcoran's amazing Armand Hammer Auditorium - a premier performance space in the DC area!
So far this school year, GW music students have performed two recitals in the space, including one last weekend and another performance over Colonials Weekend!
Photos from this recent recital, which included a performance by the GW Chamber Choir, a student string quartet, and the professional ensemble, The Aeolus Quartet, are below.
The Chamber Choir, under the direction of Gisele Becker, performed Benjamin Britten's Hymn to St. Cecilia, an acapella piece dedicated to the patron saint of music.

Aeolus, who was visiting GW and taught a masterclass with GW instrumentalists the day before the recital, performed a piece by Conlon Nancarrow, a composer from the US who was living as an expat in Mexico at the time he wrote the piece.
