Aled's recital

We are blessed with so many talented students at Riverstone. Aled Roberts is a very gifted musician who has secured a place, on early decision at New York University. As part of his International Baccalaureate Diploma examination, Aled recently performed at the Ester Simplot center in Boise. Rather than hearing it from me, here is an extract from a message I received from one of our parents, Tony DeAngelis:

Andrew,

I wanted to make you aware of Aled Roberts’ wonderful Senior IB Recital this past Sunday at the Ester Simplot Performing Arts Center! Not only did Aled show that he is an accomplished musician and composer (performing a difficult and well rounded program of Beethoven and Debussy on both violin and piano, and showing off a string Quartet and Piano Trio of his own composition), but in addition, showed that he is a wonderful role model for the younger Riverstone students in the audience, who have musical aspirations. This was no mere “senior project”, but a professionally performed recital that included some of the best classical musicians in and around Boise, including Jill Rowley, one of the principal violinists of the Boise Philharmonic! It is no surprise that Aled was accepted to New York University for musical composition, one of the preeminent musical programs in the world I would add. I also want to give Kudos to Alison Steven for guiding this program from inception to completion. Riverstone really has a gem in Alison and I think she makes our school stronger, not only artistically, but academically as well.

Tony
