Recitals

Recitals are wonderful performance opportunities for students. The Kern Branch hosts recitals during the school year. A special Holiday recital is held in October where students are encouraged to wear costumes. We also hold a recital in December. This December recital is the only event that does not require music to be memorized.

Honors Recital

Students who have received honors at Certificate of Merit, Baroque Festival, Fall Festival or Winter Festival are invited to perform in this recital. Teachers are notified who these students are following each of the above listed events and should keep a record of such for later entry in the Honors Recital. To enter, teachers submit the regular recital application to the host by the due date.

Showcase/Awards Recital

Student performers will be selected for the Showcase/Awards Recital by teacher application. Each teacher may submit one student with a choice of two possible pieces. Teacher will be notified which piece will be performed.The music must be memorized unless it is an ensemble work. The teacher may use whatever criteria he/she chooses to nominate their student. Branch Scholarships are presented at the Showcase/Awards Recital including CM Senior Medallions, Youth Awards, Malquist, Rummelsburg and Rodgers Scholarships. Winners of the Rogers, Malquist, and Rummelsburg will perform. Youth Award winners are able to perform a piece of their choice if time permits. There is no fee for this recital.
