In October we wrapped up our Fall Grade Exam Submissions at CGC Academy for 2020. We had so many wonderful submissions and it was a great learning experience for the whole community. Last year we were treated with our very first Grade 8 exam at CGC Academy. This time around we were happy to celebrate two more wonderful Grade 8 Exam Submissions. And so we would like to share part of just one of those exams with you.

Below is the repertoire performance — really a mini-concert — from Academy member Rick Lord from his Grade 8 Exam. Here’s the program:

William Walton’s Bagatelle No. 3

Vals No. 3 Op. 8 by Augustin Barrios

Bach, Prelude from 1st Cello Suite BWV 1007

Scarlatti’s Sonata in A Major – K.322

Paganini’s Romance

Prelude 1 by Villa-Lobos

Please share your congratulations with Rick on this wonderful performance (and on passing his Grade 8 Exam) in the comments below!
