Octavio's Graduate Recital

Hello there! My name is Octavio Serrano and in May I will be earning my Master's degree in Music Composition. To graduate, I am required to organize a recital of my music. This recital will represent the last 8 years that I have spent learning to write and play music.

I am putting together a 90-minute concert, and I need your help to do it.

Believe it or not, this concert will cost me $1,500. The costs are adding up fast, (venue rental fee, professional audio and video recording, rehearsal time, 16 band members, etc). Not to mention, when I earned my Bachelor's degree I couldn't have a live concert because of the Pandemic. Now my dream can come true, and you can help me bring it to life!

Any amount you can contribute helps! The recital will happen late in April or early May, and once I have a hall secured I can invite everybody! Also, I will be posting the recording on YouTube for everyone who can't come - the hall I am hoping to rent currently seats a maximum of 75 guests.

Here is a sample of my work:

I'm a Believer - an original arrangement of the classic Monkees tune!

Loom in the Wind - an original composition inspired by Studio Ghibli films!
