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.

Madeleine Therese Wiegers '23 studies Voice with Lisa Saffer and is the recipient of a Presidential Distinction Award and the Beneficent Society Scholarship.

  5. A tempest forebodes on the horizon.
    From distant mists, the wind brings rain.
    A storm, a delicacy, a renaissance of springtime.
    April showers are soon to fall; to prepare the way for May flowers
    in the form of caps and gowns
    earned by seeds,
    thirsty for Next.

    Thank you to all who have nourished me along the way and to all who have bloomed beside me.
