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'm in with Chopin op.34 n.2 video!
Ciao!
-
I would like to attend and play Traumerei by Robert Schumann if possible.
-
This is, I think, my third attempt to play "Nausicaa" Op. 29 No. 3 by Karol Szymanowski at a Community Concert - maybe third time really is a charm? It doesn't look like I have any conflicting obligations that week, so...
...let's do it! (Duration: about 6 minutes) -
Alexander Weymann I’m SURE you’ll do it!
-
Gail Starr thanks for your confidence!
You’ll hear a dress rehearsal on Saturday…
-
-
I’m down - Rachmaninoff Op. 23 No. 4
-
I'd like to play Debussy L'Isle joyeuse.
-
Alex Forbes Can’t wait to hear you! What a lovely piece.
-
-
I’m hoping to be able to play Beethoven pathetique third movement. Still working on it so hopefully I will be ready.
-
rebecca LAM You’ll do a beautiful job!
-
rebecca LAM I love this piece and can’t wait to hear it!
-
rebecca LAM i am still working on the piece so I will be playing at a slower tempo but excited to share. Will play live so I can practice how to improve my performance anxiety.
-
-
Hi - I would like to sign up for this, playing Chopin Polonaise op 71 no 1
-
Priya Viseskul ah! it’s happening!
-
Alexander Weymann oh yes - you do remember!
-
Priya Viseskul What a great piece! I just listened and realized I haven’t heard it before.
-
-
I’d like to sign up with Ravel - Pavane pour une infante défunte.
I’m not sure if I can play live, but I hope so! If not, I post a recording.
Thanks!
Update: I would like to play Grieg - Bryllupsdag på Troldhaugen (Wedding day at Troldhaugen)I play live.
-
Sindre Skarelven I adore that piece!
-
Sindre Skarelven I LOVE this one it has been on my list as one to learn…..maybe next for a “new piece” challenge
-
Gail Starr Me too, Gail! One of my favorites, and this concert gave me a good reason to pick it up again :)
-
Andrea LeVan Yes, I love it too! Go for it! I actually first learned it when we had a «French music challenge» here, a couple of years ago!
-
Hi all, I'd like to change my piece for the concert. I've been asked to play Grieg - Bryllupsdag på Troldhaugen at a concert in early June (along with other material), and I would like to rehearse for it with playing it at this concert. I promise to play the Pavane at a later concert.
-
Sindre Skarelven I absolutely love Wedding Day at Troldhaugen (heard it while exploring music for the wonderful Grieg challenge)! Unfortunately I will be missing this performance (for a Evgeny Kissin concert) but hope to hear you play it again sometime!
-
Vidhya Bashyam That's a valid reason, have a great concert! I'm sure you'll hear it later sometime :)
-
Sindre Skarelven an equally fabulous choice - looking forward!
-
