The School of Music honored its Class of 2018 Friday, June 8 with its annual Grand Finale celebration, providing a festive send-off to 58 degree recipients and their friends and loved ones.

The UW Music Class of 2018 includes 31 students earning graduate degrees—12 master’s, 7 PhD, and 12 DMA—and 27 students earning BM or BA degrees. Fully half of the undergraduates earning music degrees double-majored in programs outside of music, earning second degrees in an array of programs including Architecture Design, Political Science, International Studies, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, and others.

Graduates, friends, and family enjoyed refreshments, socializing, music and speeches, as well as a grad processional and roll call on the Brechemin Auditorium stage. Graduates Kelly Brown (BM Orchestral Instruments)Lorenzo Guggenheim (MM Orchestral Conducting) and Meg Stohlmann (DMA Choral Conducting) delivered remarks about their experiences at the UW, and the undergraduate scholarship trio Daisha—Isabella Kodama, cello, Halie Borrer, violin, and graduate Daniel Richardson, pianowowed attendees with their agile interpretation of the fourth movement of Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op.66.
