Reflections

Pianist Davide Di Rienzo and composer-pianist Kaitlin Webster-Zuber are proud to present “Reflections,” a program featuring works by Franz Liszt, Selma Moidel Smith, Kaitlin Webster-Zuber, and Cecile Chaminade, performed by Davide Di Rienzo and the Webster-Zuber Sisters. The Moidel Smith Family, in conjunction with the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, awarded Davide and Kaitlin a scholarship to present The Selma Moidel Smith Recital at UCLA in April 2025. Each year’s recital features an exceptional piano student in the School of Music who performs original compositions by Selma Moidel Smith, other works, and a world premiere by a UCLA student composer. This year’s recital features the premiere of an original composition by Kaitlin Webster-Zuber. We are pleased to present an encore performance of the recital at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library.
