performances
Alex Nelson gave his Senior Recital at UNC School of the Arts on March 12! He collaborated with several other musician for this concert, including tap dancer Jabu Graybeal. It was great to hear the range of music from classical to original and especially to see ALL of Alex’s younger sisters and brothers (Alex is the oldest of 6!) I hadn’t seen Zoe since she was a toddler and now she’s 11! Enjoy the live recording!
While you are basking in the inspiration from that concert, consider donating to Alex’s Go Fund Me. He is raising money to complete a recording project and is $410 from goal! We can DO this!
