Rooted in Music. Ready for What’s Next.

On February 1 and 8, our 2026 Suzuki Seniors took the stage in Antonello Hall for two stunning senior recitals — a meaningful milestone in their musical journey and a celebration of years (and in many cases, more than a decade) of dedication, discipline, and joy.

For these 21 seniors, graduation from the Suzuki program this spring is no small achievement. It represents thousands of hours of practice, countless group classes and rehearsals, early Saturday mornings, recitals, and performances — all supported by devoted teachers and families who have walked alongside them.

In their own words, these seniors reflect on what Suzuki has meant to them: perseverance through challenge, deep friendships, confidence built one performance at a time, and a lifelong love of music.

We invite you to celebrate this remarkable class and read their full essays below.
