Just before the break, March 26th, the Brooks Scholars came together to perform the Brooks Scholar Concert. The Brooks Scholar Concert is an annual event where the Brooks Scholars demonstrate their practice in a concert setting. This year Rhiannon Hurst ’25, Jazz vocals, Ari Kiirikki ’25, flute, Pietro Romussi ’27, cello, and Robert Gardner ’26, piano, worked together to perform a jazz/classical concert for the students of Holy Cross. They played songs from Frederic Chopin, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Duke Ellington, and more. The event was a great opportunity for Holy Cross students to experience live music while supporting their peers in all the time and work they dedicated to mastering each of their musical pieces.
Patrick Ryan, ‘27 attended the event to support his friends in their performances. He said, “I love music and always look forward to the events that the music department holds. This event, in particular, was one of the events I was most looking forward to. This is because it is the main Brooks scholar event of the year, meaning I can see the Holy Cross’s top music talent performing together. Another reason I really looked forward to this event was because it was a jazz/ classical concert, which is my favorite form of music. Finally, it was just amazing to be able to support my friends who are also part of the Brooks program and support all the time and practice they put into their music. Overall, this was a great experience.”
Patrick did a great job of summarizing the great experience of the Brooks Music Concert. I attended the event as well, and I couldn’t recommend it more as to how amazing it was. If you weren’t able to attend the concert, I highly recommend attending the next mosaic events taking place in April. They’re great times to listen to live music and support your Holy Cross peers.
