Recital: Sophia Daisy Chesler '22, Mezzo-Soprano
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.
Sophia Daisy Chesler '22 studies Voice with MaryAnn McCormick and is the recipient of a scholarship made possible by the Gladys Miller Voice Scholarship Fund.
This performance is open to in-person audiences, and can also be viewed via livestream.

"For at that time malignity ceases
And the devils themselves are at peace.
For this time is perceptible to man
By a remarkable stillness and serenity of soul.”
