ARIEL HUDSON SENIOR RECITAL REVIEW

Directly following the sixth and final recital attendance of the Spring semester in the Stella Boyle Concert Hall, Arielar Hudson granted me an interview to talk about her senior recital which was held the previous Monday on April 17th at 7:30pm.

We talked about all of her four years as a music major pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a vocal concentration and all of the other various activities she has been involved in as a student here at the University at Little Rock.

In this final recital of the semester she performed an excerpt from her senior recital performance which were Four Encore Songs entitled Tobacco, A Flea and a Fly, “Come, Come,” Said Tom’s Father and Song of the Open Road all by the African-American composer Florence Price (1887-1953).

Although I was not able to attend her senior recital which had 15 people in attendance including colleagues and faculty, I was provided the video and the program to view.

In the video Ariel was dressed in a beautiful sparkling sleeveless formal blue dress. She was accompanied on piano by Ms. Leann Jones.
