Caeli joined the Studio in September, and has made fantastic progress on the instrument in the ensuing months. It's fair to say that she's the "most-improved" member of the Studio this year.

She filled Fairchild Chapel with beautiful sound and the audience rewarded her loudly for her success. Here is a short photographic essay from the evening; the program follows.
