This week we are delighted to share another success story of a Burlington High School music department graduate.
Meghan E. Murray, Burlington High School class of 2007, presented her junior piano recital at Westminster Choir College (Rider University, Princeton, NJ) on Saturday October 24, 2009. The recital, held in Williamson Hall to a capacity crowd, was extremely well received and was partial fulfillment for a Bachelor degree in Music Education and Piano Performance. Meghan researched,wrote and completely produced the program notes.
The 45 minute recital consisted of four presentations beginning with J.S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue XVI in G Minor. Beethoven was next in order with “Sonata No. 6 in F Major”, followed Zabrack’s “Scherzo,” “Hommage a Prokoviev,” “Preludes” by Debussy, and Schumann’s “Waldszenen, Neun Klavirestucke, Op. 82.”
Following the recital a reception was hosted by Meghan’s parents, Al and Beth Murray, in honor of their daughter’s accomplishment. Also in attendance were paternal grandparents Al and Lori Murray of Brockton, Massachusetts, and maternal grandparents Paul and Evelyn Robinson of Brentwood, New Hampshire. It was a particularly special day for Meghan because her grandmother, Evelyn, was a 1946 graduate of Westminster.
While she was a student at BHS, Meghan was a valued member of the BHS Select Chorus. In 2006 she attended the MENC Sr. Districts and progressed to the All-State competition where she was selected to participate in the biannual MENC All-Eastern Honors Choir.
Meghan is a member of the Westminster chapter of Westminster Choir College MENC (National Association of Music Educators) Chapter 183 as well as a founding member of the charter of SAI. Meghan is a piano student of Ms. Phyllis Lehrer.
We extend a hearty congratulations to Meghan, her parents Al and Beth Murray, and brother David who is a member of the BHS class of 2010.
