SUMMARY:Inaugural Utley Foundation Alumni Recital: Tharanga Goonetilleke '05\, soprano
DESCRIPTION:Tharanga Goonetilleke ’05 came to Converse in 2001\, after she was “discovered ” by Professor Emeritus of Piano Doug Weeks while he was concertizing in Sri Lanka.

In this recital she is joined by colleague on the Juilliard faculty\, pianist Matthew Odell. \nJoin us on Friday\, October 30\, 2026\, at 7:30 PM in Daniel Recital Hall as Tharanga Goonetilleke\, soprano and Matthew Odell\, piano offer the inaugural Utley Foundation Alumni Recital.
