It’s time to start thinking about our summer piano recital, and we could use your help in coming up with a new theme. In previous years we’ve done:

Program Music – This recital comprised music composed to paint an image or scene. The pieces had descriptive titles and sometimes ‘program’ notes to help lead the listener on their journey.

Music History – During this recital, the audience visited the 4 major periods of music, from Baroque and Classical to Romantic and Contemporary.

Female Composers – All pieces performed during this recital were written by women.

American Music – featured a segment of Ohio composers as well as film and television music.

Music Around the World – During this recital, the audience was taken for a trip around the world, starting in the US and circling around the globe to Europe. Each student played a piece from a different country.

East Meets West – this recital featured a program full of music by Asian composers as well as music by Western Composers inspired by the Orient.

Sounds from Eastern Europe – music from the countries of Hungary, Russia, Poland, and Ukraine were promoted during this event.
