Students love to perform on stage together, and HMTA is bringing the Stringmania event back this winter! This concert, led by faculty coaches, will feature group performances by violin, viola, cello, and bass students, separated by instruments and levels.
In contrast to the Fall competitions, Stringmania offers beginning to advanced level students a non-competitive opportunity to appreciate and enjoy the collaborative process of a collective performance.
Let’s fill the stage and participate in Stringmania together!
