UC San Diego Senior Bass Recital: Sean Park and Owen Cruise with Mark Dresser

Sean Park and Owen Cruise are two senior UC San Diego undergraduate students, both studying in the MAE (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) Department with a minor in Music. In this senior recital, Sean and Owen will round out their undergraduate experience by performing solos and duo pieces across several genres. For one piece, Professor Mark Dresser of the UC San Diego Department of Music will sit in with both performers to play his trio composition.

Owen and Sean have participated in a variety of projects together through the years: undergraduate showcase events, video and audio recordings produced through UC San Diego’s jazz chamber ensembles (MUS 95JC), personal projects recorded together in the campus radio station (KSDT), the pit orchestra of the student-run musical theater production Jesus Christ: Superstar, and more. Since early 2018, both Sean and Owen have taken private string bass lessons from Mark Dresser, exploring a wide variety of exercises, repertoire, musicianship development, and performance techniques.
