We hear a solo guitar recital from Evelyn Zhang, a student of Brad Conroy. She brings music from Cuba, Venezuela, Austria, Italy, the UK and Brazil to the Fay and Daniel Levin Performance Studio.

Evelyn Zhang is a member of the Honors Guitar Ensemble at Adlai E. Stevenson High School, where she serves as a leader on both the Tri-M Music Honor Society and Guitar Board. She has studied with distinguished artists through masterclasses led by Colin Davin and Maestro Vladislav Bláha, and performed in the final recital at the Interlochen Classical Guitar Intensive.

Passionate about sharing music beyond the stage, she regularly performs at local nursing homes, bringing live classical guitar to her community. At Stevenson, she is actively involved in Tri-M and student leadership, helping expand opportunities for young musicians.

Outside of music, she enjoys baking and eating out with friends, and going on walks with her dog.
