AROUND THE WORLD FESTIVAL
Saturday, November 14, 2020
Graner Music Recital Hall
or Video Festival (see below)
Entry Deadline: Wednesday, October 7, 2020, 7:00 p.m.
(deadline a week earlier than usual!)
Students will perform one memorized piece to represent the music of an ethnic culture or nation/country to include national folk music, ethnic dances, and patriotic music. Feel free to contact festival chairs for guidance on particular repertoire or other questions. Method book pieces are acceptable but only from the "Performance" book of the series, NOT the "Lesson" book. Time limit is 6 minutes per performance. Students playing pieces 45 seconds in length or less may perform two pieces at their teacher's discretion. All set up/tunings, etc., students must be ready to perform. Judges and/or festival chairs may stop performances if performance time exceeds the time limit.
Students will receive judge's comments and a medal. Costumes are encouraged but optional, otherwise performance attire required. Students may write a short paragraph about the culture they have chosen which will be posted on the PPMTA Facebook page. These paragraphs must be submitted in a jpeg format (take a picture) and sent via text or email to Susie Marten (719) 231-9272 or skmarten@hotmail.com up to the date of the festival.
One of the following three options will be used to facilitate this event based on governmental guidelines as the festival approaches. If a teacher does not wish to work in person at the festival (options 1 or 2) their students must do video submissions only. To protect PPMTA and Graner Music, masks and social distancing will be required, and there will be no congregating inside the recital hall at any time before or after the recitals (outside is fine).
1. Full Recital Format Festival with the option of video submissions allowed
2. Small group recitals with the option of video submissions allowed

There are many words to describe the effects of what the COVID pandemic has had on all of us physically and emotionally—surely you have your favorites. We hope that you, your families and students have been healthy and that you have found successful ways to adapt to teaching in the current situation.
PPMTA is especially proud to announce the non-competitive Winter Fest Recital, planned for February 13, 2021 at Graner Recital Hall and is proceeding with cautious optimism to offer a live recital. The motto that the co-chairs of the Winter Fest recital are operating with is “If Plan A doesn’t work out, there are 25 more letters!”
