Haan Auditorium at Dordt University. Meyer’s program will feature the three movements of *Sonata for Eb Saxophone and Piano* by Paul Creston, *Caprice en Forme de Valse*by Paul Bonneau, and the first movement of *Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Piano* by Charles L. Booker. These pieces will showcase her versatility in both classical and jazz saxophone repertoire. “I have grown a lot as a musician at Dordt,” says Meyer. “I’ve enjoyed being immersed in so many different musical settings—from solo performances, duets, and small ensembles to wind symphony and jazz band. I've especially enjoyed the opportunity to explore two distinct fields (nursing and music) that don't typically intersect.” Mrs. Pamela De Haan will accompany Meyer on the piano. “She has God-given talent at expressing music,” says De Haan. “She enjoys learning new things and has grown in her ability to express different styles, and the recital will reflect that.” --- **About Dordt University** As an institution of higher education committed to the Reformed Christian perspective, Dordt University equips students, faculty, alumni, and the broader community to work toward Christ-centered renewal in all aspects of contemporary life.
