“One of the areas in which Lewis and Clark stands out among community colleges is in the high quality of its private music instruction,” said Stanard, Director of the Music Preparatory Division. “This recital is a musical celebration to re-introduce the RiverBend to some of the teachers in our private instruction studios. It’s a testament to the fact that music is continuing to enrich the lives of area children and adults alike.”

Each instructor will be represented by their students. Haferkamp will be represented by violinists Olivia Melanic and Parker Hunt. Kramer will be represented by Keaten Pedigo Mansfield. McHugh will be represented by Nicole Lowe and Nicholas Wooden. Sowders will be represented by AmyDee Bachman.
