The Masters Series Concerts

The Masters Series Concerts, presented by Studio Hollywood with the sponsorship of Arista International, comprise approximately 50 recital programs arranged into eight mostly weekend afternoon/evening Series spanning the full 2011-12 concert season.  The series programs - which are open to the public - represent a continuation of the 2010-11 Sunrise Music Series, with the intention of presenting the masterpieces of classical piano literature in a private and contemplative setting, surrounded by the natural beauty and gardens that are visible from the Studio’s recital hall.  The performances are intended to be semi-formal but well-prepared offerings, and constitute an intermediate step toward final concert preparation.
