Recital: Njord Fossnes '24, Viola

NEC: Eben Jordan Ensemble Room | Directions

255 St. Botolph St.
Boston, MA
United States

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.

Njord Fossnes '24 studies Viola with Kim Kashkashian and is the recipient of the Ivanka and Bogdana Tchkarova Scholarship.

This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here: https://necmusic.edu/live
