Recital: Hayley Yu Qin '24 MM, Contemporary Musical Arts
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.
Hayley Yu Qin '24 MM studies Contemporary Musical Arts with Carla Kihlstedt, Dominique Eade, Hankus Netsky, Kati Agócs and Mike Block and is the recipient of the Tan Family Foundation Scholarship.

- Special Thanks
I want to thank my dear teacher, mentor, and friend Carla Kihlstedt for all your support, encouragement, and inspirations. I would not be able to grow my musical personality and courage so much without your guidance.
I want to thank Dominique Eade and Nedelka Prescod -- you both, with your great vocal talents and patience and love as teachers, tremendously changed the way I sing.
Thank you Hankus Netsky and Eden MacAdam-Somer for your generous support and understanding throughout my journey at NEC.
Thank you Mike Block, for making me realize how much fun I could have playing the cello, and Kati Agócs, for guiding, supporting, and challenging me as a composer.
I also want to thank Itay, Michele, and Karl for all the Third Stream journey together and the ensembles, lunches, and trust we have shared over the past two years.
Lastly, I want to thank my friends and family who have been at my back all the time, being my accompaniment, audience, and inspiration. I dedicate my music and love to you.
