roots and branches, the mentorship concert project
Virtuosi’s 2022-2023 season has a blank space . . . and we are excited to offer it up to emerging classical musicians of Manitoba! This season holds an intriguing professional perrformance mentorship opportunity for university-level music students. Our January 15th, 2023 concert titled Roots and Branches, The Mentorship Concert Project will feature exceptional professional musicians and serious pre-professional music students from Manitoba playing chamber music side-by-side. One of our desires at Virtuosi Concerts is to create spaces for young artists to flourish. What better way to support them than with professional chamber music rehearsal and performance opportunities.
There is an element of surprise to this concert because the students will be chosen through an application process, and then an ensemble will be created with members of Virtuosi’s roster of world-class musicians. A cohesive concert program will be curated for this ensemble featuring classical works as well as a piece by a Manitoban composer.
We are inviting university-level music students with a Manitoba connection (either from Manitoba, or studying in Manitoba) to apply. The mentors will be selected according to the instrumentation of the successful applicants. Successful applicants will receive a professional union scale concert fee and a week of coached rehearsals with the collaborative mentors.
This non-auditioned application requires three parts:
- A 300-word document on why chamber music is important to you. (Why do you want to be a chamber musician? How can live chamber music make an impact
- in our world?)
- A repertoire “wish list.” (What is your dream chamber music program? Who are the composers whose voices you want the world to hear?)
- Contact information for one reference (recommended to be your primary teacher).
Please email your application to virtuosiyap@gmail.com by September 16th 2022.
Results and repertoire to be posted by October 1st 2022.
Concert January 15th 2023.
Rehearsals will take place in the week leading up to the concert.
