Recitals and Theme Nights
All private students have the opportunity to perform in two formal recitals per year held in December and June. Along with the formal recitals, Bravo Academy hosts monthly theme nights held at the school for all registered students. Theme Nights are a great way to try out new pieces, gain performance experience and to perform with other musicians who share the same love of music and performance. At all events students are encouraged to invite family and friends to share their performance experience.
Master Class Series
Each year Bravo Academy invites renowned artists and music experts to present master classes. Master classes supplement a student’s education and allow students the opportunity to learn and gain insight from the highest level of musicians. Past master class guest artists have included: Keith Klassen (The Singing-Actor), Geoffery Butler (University Auditions) and Susan Eichhorn (Music Theatre Audition).
