MCC Music Faculty Film At-Home Performances
MCC Music faculty members filmed at-home performances to stay engaged with students and the community over the summer
The Music faculty at Middlesex Community College want to stay connected with their students and the Middlesex community throughout the summer. Several faculty members have filmed at-home performances to stay engaged and continue the ‘A World of Music Concert’ series.
Carmen Peralta-Rodriguez, MCC’s Chair of Music, kicks off the performances by playing “O Polichinelo” by Heitor Villa-Lobos on the piano. She also offers an introduction to the compilation of faculty at-home performances.
“Although my colleagues and I have been able to continue teaching online instruction, we really miss performing at the college,” she said. “Sadly, we can’t return yet, but we’d like to offer you some short at-home performances we will be posting over the next few weeks.”

Other faculty performances include Marcus Santos, a percussionist, playing Hand Drumming Solo phrases from Guinea; Orlando Cela, a flutist, playing “Etude de Salon” by Johannès Donjon; and Aaron Rosenberg, a composer-pianist playing “A Contrivance.” More performances will be added in the coming weeks.

These faculty performances are in addition to a student at-home recital released in the spring. MCC students filmed themselves at home and sent it to Cela, who created a compilation video to share with the community. Performances include singers, guitarists, a cellist and the MCC World Drumming Ensemble.
