Powers students and faculty – Free! Non-Powers students, Teachers, General public – $25
Musicians of all levels have moments of doubt. We ask – could I join a chamber ensemble? Can I play this difficult piece? Do I really belong in a community orchestra or community band? Am I supposed to be here?
With this afternoon of workshops, we’re here to say YES.
Yes, we can create genuine belonging for everyone in an ensemble. Yes, you can find (or rediscover) meaning in your practice and playing. And yes, you can perform with confidence, offering your music as a gift for others. Come spend some common time with us and find out how!
We hope that after these workshops, the next time you ask “Can I….” it’ll be a little bit easier to say “yes”.
Workshop Schedule:
1:00 – 2:00 pm: Music Without the Velvet Rope: What It Feels Like to Belong in an Ensemble, taught by Belmont Community Orchestra conductor Marshunda Smith
2:10 – 3:10 pm: Meaningful Music Making: Going Beyond Just Showing Up, taught by Director of Music Therapy Cheyenna Eagle
3:20 – 4:20 pm: Experiencing Performing as a Gift! (Wait, what?), taught by violin faculty Sue Rabut
