We are a group of piano teachers in the area, wishing young pianists to have opportunities to perform and receive feedback from professional adjudicators. The theme for our festival in 2023 is Impressionism and Beyond.
This year’s festival will include solo and duo performances. There are 8 sections in which students can participate. Check the Festival Repertoire Guidelines on our website to see which section your student should enter. Students of any age may enter; participants over the age of 18 should sign up in section H regardless of the level of their performance repertoire. a. No arrangements or concertos are allowed. For ensemble pieces, the average age of the two students and the average level of the two parts may determine the section of the duo. Only duos that are intended as ensemble pieces may be performed (solo pieces with teacher duetparts will not be considered).
Memorization of solo pieces is only required for students who would like to be considered for the Honors Recital. Memorization of ensemble pieces is not required.
