This year we are opening up the recital to ALL OPYO members at all levels in our recital style event. Participation will be two-tiered:

Any OPYO student may perform a solo or duet/ensemble as part of the recital.
Additionally, any YSO student who would also like to be considered for the Concerto Competition portion are invited to participate at this level during the event. Our guest judges will select the two top entrants for the competition portion, who will win the opportunity to be featured at our spring concert as soloists with a piano (or other instrument) accompaniment, and will win a prize of $150 each, awarded by the OPYO Parent Guild (monetary prizes for competition portion only).

Our two guest judges, Sandy Nieves and Andrew Chu, will be present to judge the Concerto Competition portion, and will also fill out comment sheets for all participants to give feedback on your performance. This is a great opportunity to gain some experience with the audition process and preparation.

Details:

Participants are solely responsible for finding, scheduling, and paying accompanists. (Competition participants are required to have an accompanist at this qualifying event.)
If playing in a duet/ensemble, at least one of the group must be an OPYO member.
Playing from memory is recommended but not required (the competition winners must have their piece memorized for the concert, however).
Competition portion only: Previous 1st place winners are not eligible to compete. Previous 2nd and 3rd place winners are welcome to participate.
Participants must be in good standing regarding tuition.
The deadline for registering for the event is April 1, 2020.
