Pianist Needed

The Advanced Orchestra would like to thank DY for all his fantastic work last year and wish him best of luck in grade 12!

We are currently seeking a new pianist for Advanced Orchestra. Students should be between grades 6 – 11 and have exemplary skills on their instruments. The piano is the core of the orchestra, so you should have a minimum of grade 9 RCM or grade 7 ABRSM playing level  to apply (You do not need to hold these certificates, but this should be your performance level).  Rehearsals are once a week, regardless of whether school is in session (e.g. practices during 3 way conference days) and may includes weekends nearer to performances. Since this is the Advanced Orchestra, some performances are during weekends (e.g. Grade 12 Graduation).

If you are interested, please contact Miss Keus and arrange for an audition. You should play the most challenging piece you know.
