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!

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!

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!
-
-
I would like to join with Au lac de Wallenstadt by Liszt. It is a short piece about the beautiful lake Walensee here in Switzerland.
-
Ursina Boehm I love that piece!! It’s played so rarely - and it’s so charming!
-
Alexander Weymann I have recently been to the lake. It is such a beautiful scenery! And the lake has a very special color. Seeing the lake made me approach the piece in a different way
-
-
I would love to play something. Let's see where my head and hands are closer to date in terms of selection and live
vs recorded. -
Is collaborative piano OK? If so, my wife (Laurie, aka Tootles) on clarinet, accompanied by me on piano, playing Canzonetta op 19 by Gabriel Pierne. About 5 minutes. We will do a youtube video, since we have never attempted playing clarinet/piano via zoom - that might be a challenge!
It's a beautiful piece, difficult for both of us. OK, difficult for me anyway...
