Let’s kick off the new year together with music, reflection, and shared momentum. This Community Concert is a chance to mark a new chapter—whether that means setting an intention, revisiting a piece you love, or sharing something that represents where you are right now as a musician.

Choose a piece that feels like a beginning, a reset, or simply something you’re excited to play.

How to participate:

  • Reply to this topic with your chosen repertoire

  • Record and share your performance, or opt to play live

We’re excited to hear what you bring into the new year and to start it together as a community!

 

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!

    This looks like a very full (and amazing!) program already, but if there’s still some open time, I would like to play “Cloches à travers les feuilles” by Claude Debussy, from the second book of “Images”. I started learning this back in August, for the Debussy challenge, but I am an extremely slow learner and it takes me much longer than 4 weeks to master a new piece.

       Thank you! I will give it a try maybe even this year. As to the experience, I must say, I feel it hardly transfers between composers. I don’t know why, but getting hold of the Et la lune last year, which was my first Debussy, was quite challenging, even after so much Messiaen (I played him for 1,5 years almost exclusively!), I feel more and more often how each composer has their own “technique” on the piano and have to approach them from “easier pieces”. Maybe I’m doing too little technical exercises lately and too much just pieces?…

       ah, the age-old question whether one can learn, develop and maintain a solid piano technique solely by studying pieces… 😄

    Hello Dominic and everyone. I'm not able to play (ever? ha ha) the Liszt piece for this concert; I tried recording it and the camera don't lie! It's not ready yet. So that's one less piece for the concert, but I figure that's OK since the concert is looking very full. Kudos to all who are playing and I look forward to watching.
