Registration:

The spot(s) you sign up for will automatically be reserved as your performance time. Please only sign up for spots that you are committing to providing music at. If you are performing a piece longer than 5 minutes, please just sign up for as many slots as needed.

For students:

Please ONLY reserve times that you are committing to perform at. Please talk to your teacher prior. If your teacher is reserving times for their studio, please let your teacher do the reservation for you and do not duplicate times.

For teachers:

You may reserve as many slots for your students as needed. However, please confirm their availability prior, as reserving a spot automatically takes the option away from other potential performers. If you plan to be on site and be responsible for coordinating your students, you do not need to provide each individual student's contact info on the form but it is your responsibility to have on performance day, in case of need/emergency.

Cancellation:

If you need to cancel your performance after signing up, you can simply click "cancel my appointment" within the email confirmation that you will receive. If you do need to reschedule or cancel, please take a minute to officially cancel your slots, so that other people can have the opportunity to perform at your priorly reserved times.

Come celebrate with your own musical performance!

J.S. Bach, the father of classical music, passed away on July 28, 1750, but that was only the beginning of his legacy. Countless other classical composers have since utilized the remarkable science, spiritual revelation, and musical independence that Bach discovered and manifested as the circle of 5ths. SMTA invites you to share in the celebration of this continuing legacy with your own performance of any choice of classical music from Bach to current repertoire; including your own, if you write classical music. Whether you are a beginner, a professional, an amateur, aspiring college student, or hobbyist makes no difference. We welcome your performance of your favorite classical music on any instrument. For pianists, yes, there will be a baby grand Yamaha piano at the light rail station: Roosevelt station.
