We are pleased to announce our Branch Anniversary Concert Auditions for May 2027 for the students of the Hamilton- Halton ORMTA Branch members only.
Date: Saturday May 8th 2027
Where: TBA
We are offering our Branch Anniversary Concert Auditions designed for
all levels of students and we hope that every teacher will submit students in this, the 90th anniversary year of ORMTA.
The format is as follows:
1. The auditions will be held May 8th, giving everyone a good chance to prepare. Adjudications will be private, with only adjudicators present. All students will receive a written adjudication. Students selected will perform at a special ticketed recital on May 30th.
2. The auditions will be divided into levels: level A-primary to level 3; level B-levels 4 to 6; level C-levels 7 to 9: level D- level 10 and above. Four or five students from EACH level will be selected to perform at the special recital.
3. The auditions will be open to all instruments and voice.
4. Adjudicators will be chosen from outside the branch to minimize any bias.
5. Teachers MUST select pieces that do not exceed 5 minutes. This keeps the final recital at a pleasant length for the audience and also enables more students to have a chance to perform. Teachers are encouraged to select pieces for their students that are recital material.
We are hoping that you will find this format useful for your students. The recital will showcase our best students from every level and allow them to perform publicly for a large audience. It will also be a wonderful way to celebrate 90 years of music teaching in Ontario.
