Among the purposes listed in the constitution of the Valley Concert Society is the phrase “…to further the musical education of the younger members of the community.” One of the ways the society seeks to achieve this purpose is by giving talented music students in the community the opportunity to work directly with some of the nationally and internationally recognized professional artists that come to perform in our season series. Since 2016, the Valley Concert Society has been working with local music teachers to present masterclasses with guest artists as clinicians.

The Valley Concert Society is pleased to announce its third masterclass for string students to take place on the morning of Saturday, February 24th, 2024. The clinician is violist Molly Carr.

Molly Carr and pianist Anna Petrova will perform as part of the Valley Concert Society series the evening before the masterclass on Friday, February 23rd, 2024.

Participants and attendees at the masterclass will have the opportunity to attend that concert at a discounted rate.

The deadline to apply is February 01, 2024. We invite string teachers to recommend students who are studying at a minimum of Level 8 and who would benefit from a session with a world-class musician. Please apply online.

Note that the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers will be videorecording this session. It will be posted on the CFMTA website in a password-protected link accessible only to registered music teachers. The clinician has agreed to the recording. Students who participate will require signed permission from a parent or guardian on the application form acknowledging the recording.

The public is welcome to attend. There is no cost to a student who is playing for the masterclass or for any accompanist who may be taking part. The cost for all others to attend is listed below.
