We are excited to be able to welcome parents onsite to provide an enthusiastic and appreciative audience for these concerts. Families can choose which day suits their schedule for their daughter to perform, either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Girls will be encouraged to announce their piece, perform and bow at the end. Performance opportunities of this nature, in a supportive and non-threatening environment, are vital to a musician\u2019s development. String tutors will work with each girl in her lesson over the coming weeks to prepare a solo piece to perform.
