Ben Elwood, a senior from Yorkville studying physics with a music minor, performs composer Alexander Arutiunian’s “Trumpet Concerto” Monday with David Lyons, a collaborative pianist for the School of Music, during the Brass Area Honors Recital at the Old Baptist Foundation in Carbondale. Jennifer Presar, brass professor for the School of Music, said the honors recital featured selected students who performed best in their end-of-semester juries, or final performances that are equivalent to final exams. “We try to select musicians from different levels of performance,” she said. “This way, we can showcase the different levels of play within the school of music.” Tiffany Blanchette-Daily Egyptian
