May has been an exciting month for music on Choate’s campus.  Senior recitals have been taking place for the past two weeks and more are still to come. Most of the performing seniors are members of the Arts Concentration Program, which requires that seniors perform either a full solo recital or half of a recital, shared with another performer. 

Seniors have been preparing for their culminating performances for more than a year. Mr. Ralph Valentine, head of the Music Section of the Arts Concentration Program, said, “I’m confident that the recitals will be well-prepared by the performers and well-attended by family and friends.”  Mr. Ventre was also confident that all the seniors would do an excellent job in their recitals.
