PIANO4: SidexSide - 4 students in each of two age groups are selected in audition to rehearse and perform 'in concert' ... 4 pianos, 8 pianists ... two pianists at each piano, 4 students, side by side with Piano4. A once in a lifetime experience for young pianists at all levels to rehearse with a professional ensemble and perform with them in their concert. Orchestra students often get this opportunity, but this is the only chance that student pianists will probably have. After all, Piano4 is the only four-piano ensemble currently touring.
Local high school or college string ensemble accompanies Piano4 in a concerto.
Open to the public master classes conducted by the members of Piano4, for students at different levels. A subject of concentration could be chosen (a composer or pianistic problem, for instance), or it could be a more general session.
An informal 'play & talk' format that includes a brief intro to the First Piano Quartet and Piano4 with Q&A. Please feel free to propose ideas of sessions which you think would be useful to your community, students and teachers.
Piano4 performs in concerts and fundraisers.
Piano4 gives Workshops and masterclasses in schools and surrounding communities.
