Recital: Ray Wangrui Xu '24 MM, Violin
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.
Ray Wangrui Xu '24 MM studies Violin with Soovin Kim and Paul Biss and is the recipient of the Tan Family Foundation Scholarship.
This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here: https://necmusic.edu/live
