Piano students of Rudolph Nemeth and vocal students of Lisa Griggs appeared in a Music Arts recital on Sunday, February 7. The event, which started at 2 pm, took place at the West Village Christian Church on Robertsville Road.

Performing were Michael Raines, Melanie Fann, Matthias Brown, Peter Podar, Kelsey Ridenour, Meagan Kessell and Alex Sample, students of Nemeth; and Mayuri Jagadish, Kris Sammons and Emily Cottrell, students of Lisa Griggs.

An intermission quiz, titled “What’s that Sound,” asked students to identify a wide range of instruments, and correct answers were rewarded with small prizes. In addition, Kelsey Ridenour won a Music Arts sheet music bag, and Alex Sample won a flying disk.

Hosts for the reception following the well-attended performance were Karen Earle and Kris Sammons.

Music Arts, formed in 1983, with a faculty of twenty professional musicians, offers instruction in band and orchestral instruments, piano, voice, guitar and mandolin. The school presents frequent recitals so students can perform when they’re at their peak. A nonprofit organization, the school offers scholarships to qualifying students of all ages.
