Good evening.

It's so good to have an audience here.

It's good to have our online folks through YouTube watching us this evening, and this is also being recorded or WGCU.

And so, we appreciate our partnership with them.

A varied program this evening.

You might want to take a look at your program notes to kinda see what's going on, but it was a joy to work with these students up to this point.

Not that it's not gonna get better.

(students laughing) Okay?

And it's been a real joy working with them and lots of solo work.

And with this ensemble, it is one to a part.

And so, they're like soloists the whole time that they're performing.

I wanna welcome somebody to our audience here tonight, our new Provost, Provost Rieger and we welcome you to the Bower School of Music officially and to FGCU.

So, thank you for being here.

(audience applauding) And I had to think about the weather in Delaware right now versus here.

And you must be very thankful to be here with us, so we're glad to have you here also.

We'll continue on with our program.
