Student musicians exhibit talents in multiple spring performances
As the spring semester draws to a close, Elon University’s student musicians are taking advantage of the final weeks to show off their hard work. The Elon University Orchestra, Saxophone Studio and Camerata and Chorale choirs all performed concerts April 24-26 that showcased musical pieces developed throughout the semester. Junior Nathaniel Hodges, who has been involved with the studio for three years, said the studio wanted to deliver music that was not only well-written, but also fun to play. “It’s all about pushing boundaries and forcing others to be curious about pushing boundaries as well,” he said. Hodges said he credits Virginia Novine-Whittaker, adjunct instructor of music, for the group’s success thus far, as well as at Wednesday’s concert. “(She) is a widely known saxophone teacher and is incredible at getting the most potential out of her students as possible,” Hodges said.
