FAQ
How do I book a degree recital?
Degree recitals are assigned based on a google intake form. You can expect to receive the form around early/mid-September. CPS degree recital dates for the entire academic year (fall and spring semesters) are assigned by the end of November.
ALL SCHEDULING REQUESTS FOR REQUIRED RECITALS (except VAP) ARE DUE ON OR BEFORE MONDAY, September 30, 2024.
How do I submit my degree recital program information?
All program information and production forms are due 30 days prior to your degree recital. Please visit the Degree Recitals Page or the Non-Degree Recitals Page for full details.
How do I book a non-degree recital?
All recital scheduling, including required 3rd-year recitals, is coordinated through a google intake-form (distributed in September). Should you plan to do any non-required, non-degree recitals we ask that you give advance notice using the designated space for that in the google form. Alternatively can contact Mary-Liz O’Neill in person (Bito 106) or via [email protected] however, we strongly suggest you use the google form.
How do Collaborative Pianist Requests work?
The pianists of the Collaborative Piano Fellowship are available to play for lessons, masterclasses, recitals, and the conservatory concerto competition at no cost to Conservatory students. If you would like a piano fellow to play for an outside engagement (such as an off-campus audition, competition or non-Bard related recital), a separate financial arrangement must be made between you and the pianist. The suggested rate for hiring collaborative pianists for outside services is $45/hour.
To request a pianist, please submit the Piano Fellow Request form well in advance of rehearsals prior to your event. Requests made with less than two weeks notice may not be honored. You will receive an email confirmation of your request within 48hrs of submission and a pianist assignment within one week. You can read more about the pianist request process here.
How do I supply headshots and posters to the Concert Office?
Your images (headshots, posters) have to be in jpg-format and no more than 2MB. It is your responsibility to send us the correctly sized and formatted images. Please send to: Mary-Liz O’Neill [email protected].
