Private Recitals & Capstone Performances
A Virtuoso Club Enrichment Offering
Purpose
A premium opportunity for students to design and present their own private recital—whether as a high school capstone, a personal milestone, or a unique celebration of their musical life. These events allow pianists to curate their own program, develop performance skills at a professional level, and share their artistry with family, friends, and community in an intimate, meaningful setting.
Two Main Pathways
Senior Recital | High School Capstone
Traditionally presented by juniors or seniors, especially those pursuing music at the university level. Students prepare a varied and contrasting program that demonstrates their full range of proficiency, artistry, and personal growth. This serves as both a celebratory capstone and a professional portfolio showcase.
Personal/Milestone Recital
Available to students of all ages, including adults, who want to mark a meaningful season of life, share music with loved ones, or challenge themselves with the artistry of putting together a full-length program. These recitals can be fully personalized in theme, scope, and setting.
