World Music Festival

All students are invited to perform at the World Music Festival on March 7-8 at the Museum of World Treasures in Old Town.  I am on the planning board for this event, and I can promise you that it will be a fun experience for piano students.  Each student will perform one piece (solo, duet, or ensemble) representing the style of another country or culture.  ( I will help you find appropriate music.)  The performance may include any combination of instruments, vocalists, narration, poetry, dancing or other creative components. The performers will also receive a “passport” and visit booths with activities representing different countries, and get their passports stamped.  For example, I will be at the Ireland booth, teaching students how to dance a jig! Now that should be interesting.  Attendees will also be free to explore the Museum.

If you are interested in participating, let me know as soon as possible—February 3 at the latest.  I will also need to know which recital time you prefer from below:

Saturday, March 7 at 10AM,  1PM, or  4 PM   or

Sunday, the 8th at 1PM  or  4PM

The recital times chosen are not guaranteed, but we will try to schedule you at your preferred time.  The student registration fee is $10—-please make check payable to me, because I need to send one check for all my students.  Family members and guests may enter the Festival for $2, which you will pay at the door.  Don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions.
