Canada Music Week: November 25-27, 2011
Thank you to all who participated! Special thanks go to adjudicator Dr. John Burge, who donated his time and expertise to offer excellent commentary to all performers, and to Kristin Rae of Kingston ORMTA whose organizational expertise made it all run smoothly. This was a successful event, and we look forward to collaborating with ORMTA again for Canada Music Week 2012 next November. Check back for details!
QCM Performance Events 2011-12
QCM will organize and present performance opportunities throughout the 11/12 season. These will vary between recital and master-class/workshop format, providing the opportunity for students to both perform and receive feedback from specialists. Students and instructors will be reminded of performance dates well ahead of time. Students interested in participating will need to register for an event by fully completing a concert registration form before the posted deadline. Due to the popularity of performance events, late applications will not be accepted. For events with limited capacity (such as Workshops/Master-classes), participation will be on a first registered, first served basis. Group class performance registration is the responsibility of the instructor. Solo performance registration is the responsibility of the performer (or parent/guardian). Members of the public are welcome to attend and support all events (no admission charge).
- Sunday June 17th, 2012 - Year end concerts for solos and ensembles. 2pm, 3.30pm and 5pm (Salvation Army Church, 816 Centennial Drive, Kingston). Click here to download a registration form.
