Small Concert for the Suzuki Schools and Ensembles
The organization has provided for every school or group of students participating, the possibility of performing in a concert dedicated to their own ensemble. The performances will permit the students and teachers to share and grow musically.
The schools and groups that would like to propose their program should do so on the application form. Each performance should not exceed 10 minutes in length.
The only requirement is that of including a piece in the program taken from or inspired by an Italian lyric opera.
Students who are part of an ensemble who were not able to register for the Convention, due to the limited number of places, may participate in the performance of their ensemble even if they are not amongst the participants in the Convention. In this case, the teachers will send the list of students who are not registered for the Conference who will participate in the performance at the Concert for the Schools.
