Leave a Comment / Projects / By

Last Saturday I spent a very enjoyable afternoon photographing three talented (and charming) music students at Wilfrid Laurier University. They were Heidi Wall, Jeremy Bauman, and Miriam Stewart-Kroeker, who together call themselves the Schweigen Trio: All three of them exhibit a wealth of expression in their playing, and it was truly fascinating watching them play.
