To me, that\u2019s what performing is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who may have missed out on Nguyen\u2019s homecoming performance, there will still be a chance to watch him perform, as he will be having a vocal recital on November 18 in the Zimmerman Recital Hall.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>(By Warren J.
