Piano Ensemble

TMTA Piano Ensemble is a unique concert involving 12 grand pianos on Centennial Hall stage. Students of TMTA teachers from all over the city participate by preparing a duet, duo, trio or quartet with their teacher and then coming together to rehearse with a conductor. Over the course of 4 weekend rehearsals, students hone their performance of their piece in preparation to play for a large audience of family and friends at Centennial Hall.

Talk with a TMTA teacher today about joining in this fun and amazing music making event. We’d love to have you.

TMTA is committed to maintaining student programs as much as possible in this trying time. To that end, we are planning for the 68th Ensemble Concert as best as possible at this time. We are hopeful that looking forward to next year we will be able to continue our wonderful concert with necessary safety protocols in place. Registration will be delayed into late October 2020 and teachers will be informed on rehearsal and performance safety procedures as time progresses, staying within the guidelines as required by the state and the venues being used. Please check with your TMTA teacher for more information.
