They will have the time to learn to enjoy performing because they will have several concerts over the entire school year. They will be hand chosen by there level of passion and preparation. There will be solos, duos with bass, trios and large ensembles.

We will also be experimenting with live streaming video so people can see them and their instruments. Please join us at Oct. 17th, 12 pm sl (21.00 Suisse) at Renaissance Island.
