The talented students in ��6ͼ��’s Preparatory Division are trying something new and exciting this year – a prism concert – to be held Saturday, December 7, at 7pm in Kulas Hall.

Named for the prism which reveals the varied colors of light, this nonstop performance by ��6ͼ��’s young artists will present the many facets of a musical experience in its purest form – without applause, gaps between performances or visual distractions. The concert is a continuous surround-sound experience, with one ensemble seamlessly following another without pause.

This breathtaking event will feature performances by groups from ��6ͼ��’s Preparatory Chamber Music program, Advanced Chamber Choir, Percussion Ensemble and the ��6ͼ�� Youth Wind Symphonies (CYWS).

“Once the music starts, each group will perform, one after another, without a break in between,” said Jerrod Price, executive director of preparatory, enrollment and pathway programs. “The audience will have a sense of celebration and a concept of just how much is involved in ��6ͼ��’s preparatory program. We established this event to feature some of the many high quality programs offered through ��6ͼ�� Prep and want all who attend to be proud to be part of the ��6ͼ�� family.”

The Winter Prep Showcase will provide a platform for exceptional young musicians and opportunities for audiences to indulge in a semester-ending whirlwind of artistry. Since ��6ͼ�� was founded in 1920, some of history’s most important musicians have appeared on the legendary conservatory’s stages, and the showcase continues this celebrated legacy.
