Recital: Justine Boonstra '23 MM, Soprano
NEC's students meet one-on-one each week with a faculty artist to perfect their craft. As each one leaves NEC to make their mark in the performance world, they present a full, professional recital that is free and open to the public. It's your first look at the artists of tomorrow.
Justine Boonstra '23 MM studies Voice with Karen Holvik and is the recipient of a scholarship made possible by the Virginia Ahrens Voice Scholarship Fund in memory of Eleanor Steber.
This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here: https://necmusic.edu/live
