A New York state university has shared concert footage of one of the school’s prized cellist students in a tribute after she was shot dead near the upstate campus last week.
Elizabeth “Beth” Howell, 21, from Patterson, New York, was scheduled to graduate this year from SUNY Potsdam with a degree in music education. The accomplished performer would have been featured on Thursday as the principal cellist with SUNY Potsdam’s Crane Symphony; in honour of her memory, the concert has been postponed and a faculty-led vigil is planned in its place.
