Senior Composition Recital by Shane Stawski (Full Performance)

RECORDED AT THE MASTER’S UNIVERSITY IN SANTA CLARITA, CA - 5/1/24
After four years, thousands of hours of combined work, and countless people who helped in some way, I am very pleased to present to you an evening of original compositions, arrangements, and songs.
My desire with this event was to make the best music I knew how by representing as many different genres and instruments as possible. You’ll hear elements of folk, jazz, classical, choral, acoustic fingerstyle, barbershop, beatboxing, hymns, and soundtrack, just to name a few. I was so blessed to play alongside many of my good friends who also just happen to be some of the most talented people I know. This recital had its fair share of "hiccups" to be sure, but it nonetheless is a perfect snapshot of my time studying music as an undergraduate. I you enjoyed it as much as I did making it, which was a lot.
If you helped in this performance, attended it, or are just simply watching this video, I am sincerely thankful for you-music is meant to be shared with others and I'm privileged to share my music with you.
