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!

    Hi all, sorry to say that i won't have anything to post for this concert but will be looking forward to hearing all your offerings.  If the samples below are any indication, it's going to be a really wonderful concert, traversing a wide range of abilities and pieces. It is such a joy to have this forum available to all of us.

      Gail Starr charity concert and I accompanied some amazing opera singers doing Rogerā€™s and Hammerstein standards.  So much fun!

      Peter Golemme so awesome! I got aā€bad reputation ā€œ of being a jazz artist here in Pittsburgh a few years ago because of my improvisation abilities. I would NEVER call myself a jazz guy, but I do enjoy attempting it. Iā€™m trying to get acquainted with this platform this week. Canā€™t wait to check out your playing!!!

    Hi, sadly I won't be able to perform this June Recital. I went back to my former teacher and started working other pieces. Hope to be able to make a future community concert.

    Hi all! Iā€™m brand new to this amazing community. What can I say, other than Iā€™m a sucker for targeted Facebook Ads. 
    I love the idea of recitals and challenges to keep me motivated. I am a full-time HS Choral Director In Pennsylvania, run a very active church music program with three vocal choirs and a handbell choir, and am the accompanist for the Pittsburgh Concert Chorale. In all of my free time :-? I love learning new repertoire. My summer challenge is to learn all of the Chopin Nocturnes, so I think Iā€™ll pull from one of them- Iā€™m enchanted by Op. 48, no. 2. Itā€™s either going to be that or a Granados Goyesca. Canā€™t wait to hear you all play!!!

      Alexander Weymann I adore it- No. 4, Quejas, O La Maja Y El RuiseƱor, but I just saw your post about length. Itā€™s about 6:30. Maybe Iā€™ll play a short miniature by Dutra, and record the Granados to share. I donā€™t want to take up too much time, especially being brand new to the forum!

    • Bryan Sable oh, please! Don't worry about that. No one will complain about a piece of six and a half minutes' duration, especially not one as beautiful as that one. These concerts do sometimes last 90 or even 120 minutes; it's not an issue, really.

      Gail Starr thanks so much! I feel so glad to have found this group. I need a push every once in a while- Iā€™m always making music for work, and never for my own pleasure. This will help me focus on new rep!

      Bryan Sable I wasnā€™t even playing solo piano at ALL until I found Tonebase!  (Actually, I literally didnā€™t have free time until Covid, so that was the impetus to actually branch out from only doing chamber music with my friends).

       Just put the YouTube link here TODAY so Dominic can put it in the live stream in advance. 

       

      Or, you can play live, if you will be at home tomorrow afternoon.
