Tim and I attended the graduation ceremony by invitation from our friend Bess, who received her degree in Master of Music.
Thinking back on last year around the same time, I was in the same position, excited, nervous and a little bit uncertain. It was a very special moment in life.
Professors vs. students
Can you figure out which is which? Of course you can...
Here is Linda and Bess, both coming down from the stairs to be seated.
Other friends I've known in the music department graduating with Doctor of Musical Arts.
Alexandra Costin, a distinguished Romanian pianist. We both had Professor Anthony di Bonaventura as our piano teacher.
Elena Lin, DMA in clarinet performance. Besides her hardworking and driven personality, she is a terrific chef in the kitchen. There's nothing this girl can't do. She is now living in San Francisco, engaged to be married.
Yuan-chun Liu, DMA in violin performance.
Linda Lei got her Master of Music Education from online courses through BU from Macau, China. I met her two summers ago when we took two summer classes together on campus. It was during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, so she came over to my house a lot, and we watched many hours of the Olympic events.
Time for Bess to go up.
She looked really happy!
By her request, we went around BU campus and took some more photos while she was still in the cap and gown.
Best wishes to all these capable and beautiful musicians! Also, BU, you rock!!!
