Rite of Passage - Jesse Monkman

This is from my senior recital in college back in the day (3/3/2007). We used this piece as the closer of our almost 2 hour long recital - so bear in mind that my recital partner, Joe Simino, and I had already been playing for over 1.5 hours by this point (we were completed exhausted so I apologize for the terrible stage presence and bow at the end). Also, we weren't able to rehearse as much as we would have liked (a total of 5 times or less as a whole ensemble, if I remember correctly) - so please be gentle. Enjoy!

The ensemble consisted of: Joe Simino (blue), Matthew Sides (yellow), Jessica Grills (purple), and myself - Jeff Schaefer (red). Lighting design by Jeff Simpher.
