NMS Concerto Class
The New Music School Concerto Class aims to equip students with the knowledge and skill sets to perform a concerto live with an orchestra. After a series of classes, and a rehearsal with orchestra, students will perform with the SEEN Chamber Orchestra.
* Note: All students are eligible to play with the SEEN Chamber Orchestra pending approval by the conductor after their rehearsal.
Attend the performance with the live orchestra.
Performance June 24th at Roosevelt University Ganz Hall, 10am-1:30pm
Join us in showcasing fifteen students from the New Music School Concerto Class with live orchestra. Our Concerto Class students have been working very hard on their pieces since May of this year! They have performed in masterclasses and learned from special guests Marta Aznavoorian, David Taylor (Assistant Concert Master of the CSO), Scott Ramsay, Jeffrey Panko, Clarissa Bevilacqua, and Zarin Mehta.
