Mentored Concerts
Professionally mentored concerts are particularly helpful for Junior solo performers, namely pianists, or instrumentalists unaffiliated with ensembles or orchestras. Our Volunteer Coordinators serve as mentors, helping schedule, program, and perform alongside Junior member soloists, ultimately delivering successful concert programs. In-person mentored concerts available in Boston, MA.
We inspire Junior members to grow into confident, compassionate outreach performers and individuals.
