TOCCATA Educational Outreach
Prior to the opening Bach and Bruch concert, violinist Elizabeth Pitcairn, with Maestro Rawie and Donna Axton, visited the Incline Middle School. She visited with music teacher Terry Pittman and some 30 students, all string players.
Liz conducted a "master class" playing demonstration pieces, demonstrating practice exercises vital to performance skills and having a question and answer session. Part of the Q&A was sharing the experiences and difficulties of being a touring performer.
Programs to reach out to the Tahoe-Reno communities and population are an important part of TOCCATA's mission. Sharing our music with children in schools is a major part of this. We were pelased to have these children as our guests at the Cal Neva performance.
Maestro Rawie has long wanted to perform "Peter and the Wolf" in local schools.To date the expense of such concerts has made this impossible but we keep hoping for an angel who would sponsor such a program.
