Junior Recitals

Primarily scheduled during the Exam Period.

At the discretion of your respective studio instructor, students in Studio VI (MUSI 3648) may complete a recital in lieu of an end-of semester jury.

If a student is ill or experiences an unexpected event that prevents them from performing on the date of their recital, the student will be required to perform an extended jury or the student's performance will be cancelled. This decision will be made in consultation with your studio instructor and the Studio Coordinator.

Junior recitals are shared by 3 students. Each recital will be a maximum of 1 hour and 45 minutes in length (30 minutes/student), including pauses and set-up changes. All repertoire selections and the length of the recital are to be approved by the studio teacher(s). Junior recitals include one 15-minute intermission.

Theatre management will provide one front-of–house manager, one stage manager, and one recording technician for the recital.
