INTRODUCTION

This is an event in an online (YouTube playlist) recital format open to all ages, levels, and instruments including winds, brass, strings, piano, and voice. The event features solo or ensemble performances of the standard repertoire in any relevant period (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century/Contemporary) 

​

The SDNC CAPMT endeavors to promote the solo sonata. In doing so, the form of the sonata is of utmost priority taking into account the form is somewhat open to interpretation depending on the instrument and genre. For pianists, it is mainly an unaccompanied multi-movement work, and for strings and winds, it is most often a multi-movement solo work with piano accompaniment. We welcome sonatas (as titled), divertimenti, partitas, musical cycles (complete and incomplete), and theme and variations. We will rely on the teacher to decide on the best choice for their student. 

​

EVENT DATE/TIME

A YouTube Playlist Recital will be released shortly after the deadline.
