I performed Philip Sparke’s ‘Romany Song’ on Flute in today’s recital. Playing in front of an audience was a valuable experience, and it helped me understand the importance of stage presence and managing performance nerves. I enjoyed sharing the piece, and it was rewarding to see the audience’s reaction. Additionally, listening to the other performers was a highlight; I strongly appreciated the diverse range of musical styles and the dedication shown by each musician.
