Fall Festival

The Fall Festival is a themed recital in which students perform a single piece that is adjudicated on musicality and technique.

Eligibility to enter: ONE memorized piece no longer than 4 minutes according to the annually selected theme. All compositions written for the original instrument and all levels are eligible. NO REPEATS, D.C. is okay. One movement of a sonata/sonatina is allowed. Piano entries are limited to original works, no lesson/method books. No duplicate pieces within a studio will be permitted. Entries must be 16 measures minimum - all others are subject to variance committee approval. If you have questions about repertoire exceptions please email the festival chair.

All entries must be submitted to the festival chair via email at carlislemusicstudio@gmail.com
