It has only been a few years since California State University Monterey Bay (CUSMB) has had an approved music major program. We had an opportunity to see the fruits of this program this afternoon as graduating senior, soprano Andrea Blunt, walked out in front of an audience of family, friends and faculty to present to the public her degree recital, assisted by pianist Tiffany Truett.
It was an impressive performance! Ms. Blunt navigated her way through a difficult program running the gamut from the Mozart motet, Exsultate Jubilate, to contemporary songs she herself wrote and performed. Along the way we heard German Lieder by Schumann, French Art Songs by Chausson, Fauré and Ravel, and 20th-century contemporary songs by Hindemith and Copland.
