fox hills grands
This is a multi-piano event that our students love! The stage is filled with four or five grand pianos, and students get the unique opportunity to perform with up to nine other students, led by a conductor. A series of rehearsals before the concert help develop and reinforce the necessary ensemble skills to perform as a group.
