The purpose of the concerts is primarily for musicians to gain experience performing on stage. A musician can be an expert musician, but without stage experience, usually their stage performances have room for improvement. Even so, the concerts are intended to provide an enjoyable experience for the audience, as well as for more experienced musicians to share with an audience some of the items they have been working on. Gaining stage experience does not preclude a good concert. And generally due to the grass roots nature of the choice of items, a wide variety of music is performed which may interest the public. To minimize discomfort to both performers and the audience, applicants must have achieved grade 3 or an equivalent playing level. The concert is not restricted to non-professional musicians, or to musicians in Tauranga. Musicians outside Tauranga, and professionals who wish to display their work are also welcome to apply. Allocation of performance time is usually provided on a first come, first served basis. The maximum allocated performance time per applicant is 12 minutes (including introducing the piece). If you have any questions, please email or phone the organiser (contact details are on the application form).
