As snow started to cover the ground, St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church was filling with parents and students eagerly waiting for the second annual “Classical Me” concert to begin Feb. 2.

“It really is an opportunity for individuals to show off their talent,” senior Isabelle Zeledon says, who not only directed this year’s “Classical Me,” but also founded the show last year.

“It’s my brainchild,” Zeledon says. “There is the talent show and band and orchestra concerts, but other than that, there isn’t really a time when classically-trained students can perform.” Zeledon herself is a classically-trained singer.

The concert consisted of 16 acts, divided by an intermission and a reception following the show. The students mostly played solos with piano accompaniments, but there were two ensembles that played as well. The songs were all classical selections with the exception of a senior group made up of Aaron Seeber, Dan Pappalardo and Eli Alienikoff who played “Maiden Voyage,” a jazz piece by Herbie Hancock.

Most of the students who played in “Classical Me” have been playing their instruments for years, and also play at shows outside of school functions. Senior Lauren Song has played the violin for 12 years and also plays in the American Classical Orchestra. Her selection for the evening was “Concerto No. 1 in D Major” by Niccolo Paganini.

Junior Colin MacKnight was the assistant director to “Classical Me,” and will soon assume the responsibilities of director after Zeledon graduates. MacKnight plans to advertise for the event more in advance in hopes of receiving a larger audience.

“I’m thinking of starting everything earlier and recruiting more jazz acts,” Macknight says.

MacKnight also performed in the concert on the pipe organ with his selection of “Prelude and Fugue in A Minor” by Johann Sebastian Bach.

There will be another “Classical Me” performance this year on April 17 at the same location.
