Concert Dress: Performers will wear black bottoms, black shoes and plain white tops or Suzuki Hub T-shirts (orange or black) please. Teachers, helpers and accompanists will wear all black.
LSG Membership: All performers must be London Suzuki Group members. If your membership has lapsed or you still need to sign up, please sign up below. Without the help we get from the London Suzuki Group, we cannot put on expensive events like this. They also support our bursary programme. If you are on a bursary for private lessons from the LSG, you are automatically a member so you don’t need to do anything. If you are on a discount for group lessons from us, you still need to be an LSG member.
Cellists please bring your own stools! And everything else you need: your cello, spike holder and rosin.
PLEASE LABEL ALL PARTS OF YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND CASES! It’s very easy for cases and instruments to get mixed up at an event like this, so please label them in advance so we can make sure everyone takes the right thing home. Thank you.
If you usually have lessons on a Saturday there will be no private lessons, groups or musicianship on Saturday 27th June. The Autumn term starts on Saturday 5th September so you get an extra Saturday to catch up your lessons and groups.
Zoom: The concert will be streamed live on Zoom, so please invite friends and family who can’t attend in person to join us online. The link will be emailed to you before the concert.
I’m very excited to be presenting such a wonderful concert in such a fantastic venue! Please make sure you arrive on time and stay for the whole event so you can appreciate everything the children have been working towards.
