Students take the stage for the Winter Recital at Hunter College

Our students performed at the Ida K. Lang Recital Hall at Hunter College, from first-year beginners to advanced pianists.

On January 18, 2024, students of the New York Conservatory of Music performed at the Ida K. Lang Recital Hall at Hunter College. From our youngest pianists to advanced students, the afternoon offered a warm and supportive stage on which to share months of careful preparation.

Recitals like this one sit at the heart of a conservatory education. They give every student a real audience, a real hall, and the experience of seeing a piece through from the first lesson to the final bow.
