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!

      Judy Kuan Dominic Cheli Hi Dominic! Unfortunately, it's looking like I probably won't be able to be back at my piano in time for tomorrow's recital to play live, so please find a YouTube link here: https://youtu.be/VfHhTL3jIuo

      (I'm also really not sure how well the "jovial" sections' audio would come thru live via Zoom)

      Looking to hear everyone else play!

    Put me down for Mendelssohn Song Without Words op30-1. About 5 minutes. I will play live. I played it back in February, then let it rest. I am playing it in a live recital the very next day after this concert, so this will be a good warm up! Maybe I can get all the mistakes out of the way early!

     

    However, I broke my left femur in a bike accident two weeks ago. Recovery will be slow for me since I am 70. But I am doing OK sitting at the piano!

  • I'd love to play two Debussy Préludes from Book 1: 

    VIII - ...La fille aux cheveux de lin 

    XI - ...La danse de Puck (perfect for the title of this concert! 😉)

    Together, they last 6-7 minutes.

    My wife Kay Hanna would like to play "Flight" by Rachel Portman. She will play live. (She is having some trouble accessing her account directly so asked me to post this).
