ABOUT TONEBASE COMMUNITY CONCERTS:
These events are NOT live-streamed OR recorded, but are private zoom meetings where tonebase members can share their hard work and perform for each other!
These concerts can be played LIVE, or if you can't attend, you can submit a recording!
This is a GENEROUS and SUPPORTIVE space.
Performing is one of the best ways to push yourself, and really evaluate the work/progress you have made!
Repertoire is open to any piece!
Memorization is NOT required.
You can play select movements, or even sections of pieces! No need to perform a complete work!
Playing the piano is fun, but sharing your music with others is one of life's great joys. Join in on the fun and cheer each other on!
FOR OPTIMIZING YOUR ZOOM SETTINGS PLEASE SEE THE SHORT VIDEOS BELOW!
Because we use zoom for these concerts, it is important to have the best audio and visual settings available!
Check out these videos depending on the device you are using!

FOR IPAD/IPHONE/PHONES

Yihan will play Liebermann Nocturne 4. In case he doesn't school off that day, we will record a video, would that work?
-
springgrass His nocturne was lovely!
-
Gail Starr Thanks! He will be able to play Mendelssohn Concerto no. 1 third movement with the Orchestra here coming Monday and Tuesday. Excited and nervous too... his very first concert performances...
It was nice seeing you in person on Zoom...
-
springgrass Please share if it does get recorded. We love his playing!
-
Vidhya Bashyam will try, not sure we can since there might be some copyright/restriction with the Orchestra. Thanks!
-
springgrass That is SO exciting! Can you share video with us afterwords?
-
Gail Starr Vidhya Bashyam The grand concert piano was magnificent! Yihan loved it! I can't send recording, but here is the snippet from their facebook reel : https://www.facebook.com/reel/331436876191744

springgrass Alas, it doesn't let us open the FB reel. But we are SO glad Yihan enjoyed his experience. Can we look up the FB reel if you give us the name of the concert?

I think they repost it with more info

springgrass This was wonderful! It brought back really fun memories because I played the same Mendelssohn with an orchestra when I was his age. But I'm sure he will have a lovely career in music, if he'd like that! (i ended up in business, which was great but I'm not anywhere as talented as your son).
-
Gail Starr Thanks! It's difficult to be successful in a musical career, you have to be super extraordinary and most of all, luck. Not sure where it goes, but we'll try our best...
-
springgrass So true, but your son is doing beautifully.

Here’s my video of William Bolcom’s “Graceful Ghost Rag” that we can watch during the concert, if you like.
-
Gail Starr A very talented ghost
-
Gail Starr This is absolutely brilliant, Gail!
-
Gail Starr wonderful! Such a great feel for the piece; love the slightly cheeky swing. And it's especially hilarious because you rather look like a spectral, scary nun as you're playing it.
-
Gail Starr I just love this Gail! Thank you for introducing me not only to this piece but also to this composer who I’ve never heard of before. Also love the set dressing! What fun!
-
Angela Fogg Thank you so much! Bolcom also has some nice 2-piano pieces, I think. I'm going to check them out and I'll let you know how they are.
-
Angela Fogg My husband bought the little piano skeleton!
-
Gail Starr An excellent purchase! I’d be interested to hear about the 2 piano works as well. Keep us posted!
-
Angela Fogg Tammy Tan attended a 2 piano concert last week in NYC and the Bolcom piece was on the program.
-
-
I will play Schubert/Liszt Der Doppelgänger since I just worked on it and it’s very Halloween appropriate.
-
Vidhya Bashyam Can’t wait to hear you!

Hi everyone,
Hopefully I'm not too late but I'd like to submit a short piece by Liszt for the Halloween Concert tomorrow (its 3'30 mins in duration) - Canzone from the Years of Pilgrimage. Its based on a theme from a Rossini's Othello, but still sounds a bit spooky I think!
