The Music School of Delaware in Milford and Wilmington

In a year packed with recitals and other performances, a few still stand out. On Dec. 7, the alumni recital will feature the return of violinist Robin Mayforth and pianist Julie Nishimura in a performance to remember. An Evening with Wilson Somers and Company happens Feb. 16, featuring the music of Somers, Duke Ellington and Dave Brubeck played by bassist Bill Stumm, saxophonist Ed Kirkpatrick and Stan Slotter, who plays trumpet and flute. Very cool. (Milford, 422-2043; Wilmington, 762-1132, wilmingtonmusic.org)
