     2024 Chamber Music Recital May 18, 2:00-6:30 p.m.

Have your child perform a piano piece with professional chamber musicians! Prior to the actual recital, participation in two rehearsals is mandatory. These rehearsals will be held near Mission Bay. Openings are limited per teacher, so commit early to ensure your spot.

Late Book 1 and higher students are welcome to participate. Your teacher has a list of possible repertoire. The piece should be well polished before the rehearsals are held.

Mandatory Rehearsals: Remember to bring your music!
