March 29, 2009 @ 9:20 AM ~ Solo & Ensemble Day and Mini Fair! Play well today... Play better tomorrow!
(Winchester, MA)
Plan to participate in GBFA's Fifteenth Annual Solo & Ensemble Day and Mini Fair! This event offers an opportunity for participants at any level to perform for a jury. It's different from a competition since everyone is a winner at their own level. Solo performances will be limited to 10 minutes, flute choirs and other ensembles to 15 minutes. Performers or performing groups will receive Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Honorable Mention Certificates. Judges will be established professionals from the New England region. Exhibiters, classes and mini-concerts to be announced.
Location: Winchester Community Music School
Fees: To be announced. GBFA Members save on all fees!
Info: Keep checking back on the gbfa.org website.
