Kayla, will you be doing a recital?
ReplyDeleteAs a B.A., I'm not required to but I would like to. If I do a recital, it will be sometime next year.
ReplyDeleteKayla, your descriptions were amazing! I have never been too involved with the arts at Moravian, but I may have to begin!
ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend checking out some of the arts at Moravian! There are usually events going on every weekend, especially in the music department.
