a program of works by Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel and Ahmet Adnan Saygun, as well as one of Göker's own compositions. Göker's parents were in attendance, as well as many of Turkey's government officials.
Göker and Jenkins were interviewed by several newspapers, and many commented
on the two being students at Lawrence. Göker remarked that their appearance gave them a chance to act as ambassadors from Lawrence and to put Lawrence's name on the map. "Lawrence is a good university, [and this was] a really good presentation for Lawrence," she said.
The duo has already started making
plans for the next few years. "[It is a] priority for us to apply to grad school," says Göker. The two wish to attend the same school for their graduate
work, and are specifically
interested
in Indiana University and the New England Conservatory. They both want to perform and possibly teach at the university level. In the more immediate future, Göker and Jenkins will be giving a performance in December 2006 at the American University in Turkey, and will be graduating from Lawrence in June 2007, Göker with majors in violin performance and theory/composition, Jenkins in piano performance.
