Brenna Martin, senior piano major at Wichita State University, will give her senior piano recital at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16 in the Dorothy Moses Morrison Chapel as part of the ������Ƶ Music Department’s Visiting Artist Series.

Martin is originally from St. John and took classes through ������Ƶ for two years in high school from ������Ƶ Piano Instructor Karole Erikson.

“While working with Brenna in High School, I knew she had the drive, determination and musical sensibility to become a professional musician,” Erikson said of her former student.�� “She was always willing to perform in recitals and contests. I could always rely on Brenna putting in the practice time it took to have a successful musical performance.�� To prove she is up to the task of becoming a professional pianist, Brenna must perform a piano recital of memorized classical piano repertoire. ��Brenna’s recital is sure to be a special afternoon of both musicality and pianistic expertise.”

Martin is also a member of the Wichita State University Symphony Orchestra and a past member of the school’s Symphonic Wind Ensemble.�� She has participated in the Wichita State Concerto Aria Competition and also the Imbler Competition.
