What a joy, what a life, what a chance...

Thank you all for making my last semester the best it could’ve been. I have been blessed to have such incredible friends who I can laugh with, who I can make music with, and who I can call family 💙

I love each and every one of you beyond words!

Hello everyone! I'm beyond excited to share that I will be continuing my education at the Eastman School of Music as a Graduate Assistant in the Department of Conducting and Ensembles. I'm incredibly honored to join Prof. Juliana Athayde's studio and to study under her guidance throughout my master's in Violin Performance and Literature.

This has been one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. I'm deeply grateful to have been accepted to all of the schools I've auditioned for, including Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, The Johns Hopkins University Peabody Institute, and Florida State University College of Music. Thank you to the faculty at each of these institutions for your kindness, support, and encouragement throughout this process. It truly meant a lot to me.

A HUGE thank you to my wonderful family, friends, and amazing professors at Rollins, and my alma mater Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. I wouldn't be here without your constant support and belief in me.

And lastly, to that little girl on the last slide, having a dress rehearsal in the middle of her living room... We did it! Thank you for dreaming this for us ❤️

Final recital at Rollins! 🦋

First of all, I’d love to thank Kristine Griffin for being such an amazing pianist to make music with. I truly appreciate all the effort and love she puts into her playing. Thank you 🙏🏻🤍

Bringing this program to life was one of the most fun and rewarding experiences of my life. Ysaÿe, Brahms, Saygun, Crozier, and Wieniawski… I can still feel the pressure of it all, and I can proudly say that I did my best and gave it my all!

Two pieces in this recital were especially meaningful to me. The first is, of course, Saygun’s "Demet." I grew up in the conservatory where he taught, heard so many stories about him, and always felt his presence and influence in my education. Bringing his legacy into my graduation recital was a full circle moment, and hearing that it resonated with so many of you fills my heart with pride. It was a tribute to him and everything he gave to Turkish classical music. I feel incredibly lucky to have performed his work! 🇹🇷❤️

The second was Rose of Sharon by our dearest theory and composition professor, Dr. Daniel Crozier. His influence on my musical perspective, his guidance in composition, and his kindness have shaped me into who I am today. In such a short time, he became one of the most influential professors in my life. I’m so thankful that he trusted me with this beautiful piece, and that I could share his music with all of you.

Coming to Rollins has been life changing. My time here has been filled with so much love and joy. I’m beyond grateful to all of my incredible professors, my wonderful friends, and especially my violin professor, Joni Roos. Thank you for always being there, for all of your guidance, and for turning an unfamiliar place into a home for me.

Lastly, my family ❤️ None of this would have been possible without your support. Mom, Dad, and my beautiful Michy... I love you all so, so much!

I hope everyone enjoyed listening as much as I enjoyed being on stage. I can’t wait to share more music with all of you, this is only the beginning! 💙 taken in Tiedke Concert Hall by @aysimanik
