Instrumental Classes – Teaching
Instrumental classes form the highest priority of FEMUSC’s Pedagogical Curriculum. Participants must bring studies and musical works at a high performance level and present them to masters of renown, experience, and knowledge. Scheduled between Monday and Friday, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.
Classes are conducted in groups where each participant performs for professors in front of the entire class, which may be modified according to the preference of the professors.
Solos – Individual Presentations
Participants are invited to submit up to three works of their choice for solo instrument, without piano or orchestral accompaniment. “Concertos with orchestra”, “sonatas in partnership with piano”, or works requiring more than one instrumentalist will not be accepted. Works using electronic accompaniment will be considered, provided that participants supply their own sound equipment.
FEMUSC accepts traditional suggestions and works from all periods of concert music, and also encourages participants to include works representing their cultures and/or underrepresented creators.
The Coordination will select works to be included in the official programming of the event. There are no guarantees that the works submitted by participants will be selected for concerts.
Chamber Music – Small Group Presentations
Attention: there are no chamber music activities in the Intermediate Orchestral Program.
Symphonic Groups – Large Group Presentations
Large musical ensembles are a microcosm of society, representing collectivity, respect, teamwork, and mutual support. Participants will be selected according to their applications and recordings, and invited to participate in the following ensembles:
Ricardo Feldens Academic Orchestra
Adélia Fischer Academic Orchestra
BSF – FEMUSC Symphonic Band (*)
Cameratas (*)
OVF – FEMUSC Guitar Orchestra (*)
In addition to these orchestral ensembles, participants may be invited to participate in chamber orchestral groups.
(*) In partnership with the Intermediate Orchestral Program
Social Concerts – Giving Back
Solo works may be scheduled for locations of social interest, such as Hospitals, Shopping Centers, Nursing Homes, Community Centers, and Churches. The objective of these presentations is to bring musical art to people who do not have the possibility or even the interest to travel to the SCAR Cultural Center.
This is an opportunity for participants to develop their musical skills without the pressure of peers and professors around them, and also for a new audience that is unfamiliar with their art.
Concert Series
Solo and chamber music works will be primarily scheduled for the Concert Series indicated for specific instruments:
Chamber Music Recitals Series
Piano Masters Series
Violão Plus Series (Guitar Plus Series)
Lyric Singing Recitals Series
Wander Weege Industrial Series (harps)
