Student musicians perform

SALISBURY — The annual Student Open Recital was held at Salisbury Congregational Church Sunday afternoon, Feb. 23. It was the 43rd year of the event, which features local student musicians and their teachers.

There were three strong solo piano pieces. Daniel Leach played Dave Brusin’s “On Golden Pond,” Michael Spaulding performed Lelio Luttazzi’s “Souvenir d’Italie,” and Ishaan Tantri negotiated the difficult first movement of Betthoven’s “Sonata Pathetique.” All three played with confidence and flair.

The Indian Mountain School Advanced Ensemble played two familiar selections, “Morning Mood” and “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from Edvard Grieg’s “Peer Gynt Suite.”

The Salisbury School Jazz Ensemble, featuring the rock-solid bass of Max Koh and fluid electric guitar solos by Tate Harblin, played “Idle Moments” by Grant Green and a bossa nova by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
