Performance is important in music as a vital medium for the expression of the human spirit. It affords the student the opportunity to develop high-level musicianship, artistic sensibilities, and a strong commitment to the art, and will instill a lifelong desire to participate creatively as an artist and as an audience member in musical pursuits in an ever-evolving musical culture.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of the many learning and performance opportunities that exist both formally and informally within the Collegium Musicum Conservatory of Music and the community.
Recitals are great opportunity for students to practice music in front of others and gain confidence, build performance skills, and broaden and strengthen their musicianship.
Each year, all students have occasion to perform on Collegium Musicum Conservatory of Music Winter (December) and Spring (June) recitals. Other performance opportunities include evening CMCM-hour informal Saturday's recitals held at Conservatory's Chopin Hall.
Collegium Musicum Conservatory of Music encourages and guides students through process of music competitions where they can perform, gain experience, learn and eventually win award or scholarship.
