Young Artist Auditions
The Young Artist Program of the Steinway Society of Western PA is unique. It offers gifted young pianists in this area opportunities that are not provided by any local organizations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made a huge impact in our everyday lives, as well as on our organization. As a consequence this year the auditions will take place via ZOOM.
AUDITIONS
Saturday December 5th, 2020, and Sunday December 6th, 2020, on ZOOM. Each applicant will receive a ZOOM invitation, with its waiting room link.
ADJUDICATOR: Dr. Henry Wong Doe, Professor of Piano, College of Fine Arts, Department of
Music, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, PA.
ELIGIBILITY: Pianists up to age 18, or through their senior year in High School.
REQUIREMENTS: Each student must present:
- A memorized program of 5 to 15 minutes from the concert level piano repertoire.
- A SSWPA membership ($60 through June 2021)
- Teacher membership (single: $30, family: $60 through June 2021)
Acceptance into the SSWPA Young Artists program is contingent upon receiving both student and teacher membership; absolutely no exceptions.
All selected students auditioning will be accepted into our program and will have the opportunity to perform in HONOR RECITALS, via ZOOM. We will also offer live recitals at the Fort Pitt Piano Company, following the CDC guidelines. Each student will receive a plaque and a certificate of recognition. During the season there will be workshops via ZOOM, held by some of the Recital Series artists, and some renowned pianists from our area.
