From Mendelssohn’s Der Blumenstrauss to Beyond My Wildest Dreams from The Little Mermaid and a surprise rendition of Happy Birthday , Pacific University’s Sydney Timm showcased her soprano chops during a recital Tuesday afternoon.

Accompanied by Jennifer Hughes on the piano, Timm demonstrated her skill across 11 pieces in Italian, German, and English.

Timm plans to find a job teaching and directing high school choral programs. She thanked her voice teacher Joannah Ball and Profs. Anne Reed and Katy Green.
