Masterclasses
presented by
Valley Concert Society
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.
In 2023, the Valley Concert Society will present a piano masterclass with clinician David Jalbert on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
