The Creston Valley Music Teachers Association is proud to present a student recital in celebration of Canada Music Week.
The various students participating in the Nov. 18 recital have been working hard through the fall to prepare their pieces for the performance. The teachers have encouraged their students to choose a piece from a Canadian composer. This is a great way for students to learn a bit about the Canadian history of music and a wonderful opportunity to share the Canadian music with the community. There is a lot to be said for Canadian composers and the students will show that, in spite of all the wonderful things that could be written about the composers, the music truly says it best.
The concert will include students from many of the CVMTA teachers, including piano, violin and voice students. There is no grade limit to the students participating, so the audience will hear everything from the simple and sweet beginner to the beautiful intricacies of the most developed student.
As an added bonus, and to finish off the recital with some good fun on the teachers’ part, a few of the music teachers will be performing an eight-handed piano piece, which was performed at the recent musical extravaganza put on by the teachers in the CVMTA. It was a pretty big hit with the audience then and is sure to please again.
The recital will be held at the Prince Charles Theatre at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 18. Refreshments will be available following the recital, and admission is by donation at the door, with tax receipts available for donations of $10 or more. All proceeds will go toward the Monte Anderson Music Scholarship, which is used to help students further their post-secondary musical education.
This will be a wonderful recital and a chance to show some pride in your country’s music. You won’t want to miss it!
