Élégie

Erin was not only my best friend, but my role model. She loved and shared loudly and endlessly, always making the time to show her care for everything and everyone. I will forever remember her for the courage she gave me to embrace my big personality. I am blessed to have gotten to spend the last 4 of her 21 years growing and being obnoxiously scatterbrained side by side with her.

Thank you to Dina Dautova, Mina Smith, and Ryan Giannitelli for their time and support in bringing this piece to life. I also want to thank Professor Santillan for her support this semester, as well as Mila, Hinata, Nora, and Ev who allowed me to save such an important piece for last in the concert order.

Thank you so much.
