Members’ Recital and Forum
All are welcome to participate in a members’ concert and forum for EVMTA teachers. Stay tuned for an open invitation to perform and/or participate in a panel discussion in the EVMTA bi-monthly newsletters.

Piano Ensemble
Piano Ensemble is one of the events our students enjoy the most, and look forward to each year. Our "duet concert," features ten groups of varying musical difficulty, performing two duets together as an ensemble. Each group can have up to twelve pairs of participants, giving each participant the opportunity to play Primo in one duet, and Secondo in the other. Each group is directed by a conductor, who will help students play as an ENSEMBLE during their three rehearsals and final performance. This is an event you don't want to miss!
