STUDENTS' CONCERTS
The Italian Strings Academy organizes for its most committed students two main performances during every school year.
The Students Recitals are generally held at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Old Strathcona, one of the most fascinating concert venues in Edmonton.
There is a Christmas Concert between the end of November and the first two weeks of December, and a Summer Recital in June every year.
For the 2016/17 scholastic year, the Christmas concert will take place on Friday December 9th.
Preparing for concerts is one of the most efficient methods to train the musicians. The rehearsals with the pianists or the other string players are organized in advance, so the students can have occasion to perform in an emotional atmosphere before the actual concert date.
The students concerts are organized with the same attention to details that is customary for professional musicians. There are usually light refreshments for the performers in the green room and the audience can find an elegant printed program that help to follow the performance.
Concerts might be recorded and students have the opportunity to keep a copy of their performances.
The suggested piano accompanists are highly professional musicians.
The academy provide a list of suggested professional pianists that can accompany the students during the performances. Each pianist have a different hourly fare for the rehearsalS and the concert and students can schedule with his preferred pianist the number of rehearsals that he/she needs. Before each concert every student is in charge to schedule a practice session with the pianist in front of his string teacher.
