You probably remember your first recital, whether it was on the piano, the violin, a recorder, or a dance floor. Your parents ooohed and ahhhed over your every little mistake and thought you were a virtuoso in the making. Well, the archive has an interesting selection of recitals to choose from, with nary a cute kid to be found.

• Becca Stevens – Senior recital at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music
• Perf de Castro – 10 string guitar recital of Vals #4, op. 8
• Sarah Graham – Mozart’s “Voi, che sapete”
