Sounds of Summer: June Recital!

WELCOME TO OUR JUNE RECITAL!
As we reach the heart of the year, join us in celebrating music, growth, and connection through our June Community Recital! This is a time to reflect, recharge, and share pieces that inspire you—whether they evoke summer warmth, personal transformation, or simply bring you joy.
How to Participate:
Reply to this topic with your chosen repertoire.
Record & share your performance—or choose to play LIVE!
Let’s make this mid-year musical moment something to remember!
General information and Guidelines below!
Reply to this topic with your name and repertoire selection if you would like to perform! If you don't know what you want to play yet, you can always just let us know your intent!
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!

I'd like to play something if I'm able, possibly the G Major Prelude and Fugue from Book 1 of the WTC, and/or Rachmaninoff's A Major Prelude. I have them both almost memorized, but I'll be traveling the week before the concert and probably not able to practice, so I might not get all the way there with either.
If those are not ready, I could contribute another jazz/pop standard if there were interest in that, possibly "Stars Fell on Alabama" or "Red Sails in the Sunset" or the Beatle Song "Mother Nature's Son".
Looks like we've got another slate of really interesting music! I'm looking forward to hearing my colleagues' performances whether or not I'm ready to play.
