Lovely the Recital Hall
filled early with relish,
delighted anticipation
a musical presentation
with a gifted, honored
notable talented artist.
 

Her recital debut at eleven
orchestral debut fourteen
Andrea Arese - Elias strove
reached excellence at the top
won awards, degrees, prizes
performed at Carnegie Hall.
 

Her performance all brilliant
her Persona added pleasure,
selections from head to fingers
flowed with synchronized ease,
the artist with piano merged
in beautiful effortless ecstasy.
 

Magnificent talent appreciated
the audience warm, supportive
her rarity, charm, performance
long impressed into my memory,
rainbows are the colors of music
for all there an evening of delight.
