The Foothills Music Club on Thursday, April 12 heard selections performed by four of the recent winners in the music club scholarship competition in March.
The club’s April meeting was held on Thursday, April 12 at the home of Mimi Child Traxler.
After a short business meeting, the scholarship winners performed. Beginning the program was Katherine Barker playing “Etude in G minor,” by Luft, on the alto saxophone. Rachel Richards, cellist, played “Sonata in G minor,” by Henry Eccles. She was accompanied by pianist Sherry Young.
Baritone Tyler Graeper presented two vocal selections. The first one, sung in Italian, was “Caro mio ben,” by Tommaso Giordani. Next was a powerful rendition of “I’ve Heard It All Before,” from the musical “Shenandoah.” Graeper was also accompanied by Sherry Young on piano.
Concluding the program was first-place winner Paulina Ray-Zorick, who played two pieces on the piano: “Two-Part Invention No. 4,” by Johann Sebastian Bach and “Sonata in D minor, Op. 31. No. 2, Allegretto,” by Beethoven.
