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!

      Dominic Cheli Lovely list! or Should I say spooooky list?  What about adding Liszt's transcription of Erlkönig by Schubert?  I hope someone would play anyway.  The list of pieces submitted by everyone itself sounds quite daunting and "terrific" to me...! 😅   Question, can I still attend even if I am not ready to perform this time, but wanted to see and possibly be inspired for some other time...?

      Eunji Kim I can't imagine that anyone would object to your sitting in an listening without playing in the recital.  I've done that several times, when I've not had something ready but wanted to hear the progress, development and the unique musical expression & contributions of each of our Tonebase colleagues.  Plus hearing everyone else play is great motivation to get a piece together yourself.  Performers come from all different levels and everyone is extremely supportive & encouraging.

      Dominic Cheli We could add Debussy'es  La cathédrale engloutie to this list -it's spooky rise and sinking back into the mists  could only be attributed to the supernatural!

      And probably some of the Pictures in Moussorgky's Exhibition were pretty spooky.

      Peter Golemme OMG - you've nailed "La Cathedrale"!  I actually tried to start learning it earlier this year, had a nightmare about it and moved on to something cheerier.  Les Minstrelles.

    • Andrea LeVan I’m going to try to learn this really fun version of Phantom of the Opera arranged by Aysedeniz Gokcin if I can learn it in time (I haven’t started it yet), or maybe Musa by Manolo Carrasco. Both fun pieces 😉

    • Andrea LeVan  can’t find the music for Musa. Can you help?

    • Dennis Douberteen hi yes I can! Mr. Carrasco is so generous that he gives many of his compositions away for free on his website. Here you go!

    I'm not yet sure what to play--ideally, it will be Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 9 in f minor, however I started it three weeks ago, and it is a Chopin Etude, so it might not be ready. I'll send in an update in a couple weeks, and if I cannot play the Etude, I will include my replacement piece in the reply.
