The 2022 Gilmore Young Artist Clayton Stephenson performed in Robison hall on Saturday, Oct. 8. His electric performance brought down the house, granting him a standing ovation during the intermission break. Sonata No. 4 in F-sharp Major, Op. 30 was a highlight, wherein Stephenson encouraged audience members to associate colors with the music being played. The composer Alexander Scriabin had synesthesia, a condition where sounds and colors are closely associated. Overall, Stephenson put on a great show, and Middlebury would be lucky to host him again in the future.
