Dear Emerging Artist Families,

I hope that you are all well and enjoying family time together.

We are planning a Virtual Emerging Artist Ceremony on our 'Virtual Music in May', Saturday, May 30th. It is important that we recognize these dedicated students that have worked so hard under difficult circumstances.

We are changing the EA requirements so that each student will be able to complete what is needed to receive his award and be a part of the Emerging Artist Award presentation.

Please review these requirement updates with your children and reach out with questions: paulette@allnewton.org
 

Prelude I, II and III

Requirements:

Perform on ONE recital: If you have not had the opportunity to do this, you will be able to submit a videotape of you performing a piece selected by you and your teacher to be recorded and shared on Music in May. 

Attend ONE concert sponsored by ANMS: If you have not yet attended an ANMS concert, you may go on the Boston Symphony website https://www.bso.org.  

You will find several options to choose from:

The second performance requirement will be waived for those students that have not performed yet this year. You will be required to videotape and submit a piece for Music in May.
