Following the recognition of guests, Jim Smith Introduced Rhianna Lingle, a violinist and Chautauqua music student, who was also selected as the Club's 2025 scholarship recipient. Rhianna was on hand to perform several pieces of music for the club.
 
Rhianna is an undergraduate student at the Cleveland Institute of Music, studying with Jessica Lee. She has explored numerous ensembles, genres, and historical periods of chamber music. Rhianna has attended the Domaine Forget de Charlevoix chamber music and solo programs, the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival, the Madeline Island Chamber Institute, and has been fortunate to work alongside renowned musicians David Alberman, Kerson Leong, David Requiro, and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, as well as the Callisto, Jupiter, Brooklyn Rider, and Borremeo quartets. Rhianna has performed as a soloist with regional orchestras in the Denver, Colorado area and is also an enthusiastic orchestral player, having assumed principal second violin and assistant concertmaster roles under the batons of Joann Faletta and Anthony Parnther during their guest tenures at the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Once Rhianna was finished with her performance, she answered several questions from members. The rest of the meeting then resumed.
