                                Valentine's Day was an important day of music making for two of the studio's members. Felix Curtis and Nathan Fajfar both presented their Graduation Recitals from Book One and Book Four, respectively. Each of these violinists performed admirably and easily confirmed their readiness to move on to the next books. Congratulations to you both for outstanding recitals!
