Meet Fiona Sun, a senior percussionist pursuing a major in Biological Sciences with a minor in Music! 🎶 Fiona's musical journey began at a young age with piano and violin, but it was during middle school, when she discovered percussion, that she truly found her passion.

"I became passionate about playing marimba and other percussion instruments like timpani thereafter. Whether I was playing Tchaikovsky’s symphonies or playing duets with my sister who studies harp, music became a part of who I am and the values and experiences I’ve gained through music guide me in every aspect of my life."

Join Fiona and the rest of the percussion ensemble for their concert on Sunday, December 8, at 3:00 PM in Lincoln Hall B20. 🥁

#MeetTheKeyboard! Patricia Garcia Gil performs a program entitled "Spanish Serenades and Chopinian Charms" on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 7:30pm in Barnes Hall that will utilize two instruments from the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards' collection! Patricia says "Choosing from the extensive collection of instruments at the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards is a remarkable privilege, but performing on these original instruments is truly magical. The Graf and the Pleyel are not just instruments; they are time capsules, preserving the elusive voice of a past era, and allowing to embody the emotions, stories, and thoughts of composers long gone. In this program, the Graf reveals the delicate, nostalgic, and nocturnal qualities that perfectly complement the intimate works of Ocon, Adalid, Pedrell, and early Chopin. Meanwhile, the Pleyel's warm yet vibrant sound enhances the spirited second half of the program, which is introduced by Viardot's lively Spanish Serenade." Come hear these time capsules in action!
