9) Our Performing Experience and Performance Opportunities
Music is best when shared: We have been blessed to participate as featured performers in numerous piano performances over the past decades. From fashion and live radio show coverages, art exhibitions, and events to charming taverns, prestigious restaurants, upscale hotels and other establishments, endless fundraisers, and hospital performances – we did (and still do it!) all. There is something magical that all of us who play for the audience feel while sharing our music. Our Studio continues that tradition by supporting our student’s live performance opportunities – with many more to come! Here are only a few images from our many, many past Recitals – including the Summer 2025 Recital featuring the most important performers of all – Our Students!
We love music and believe in and enthusiastically promote the music’s multiple benefits and life-enhancing qualities. Music enlightened our lives, and we wish to help you, and yours experience the same: the lifelong joy of music making and sharing!
For over three decades, our family has provided countless public performance opportunities to our students!
Our events were held in auditoriums with excellent acoustics, various venues, including the professional concert hall of The Living Arts Centre.
Except for the Living Arts Centre’s main, RBC Theatre, no venue provided a World-Class Concert/Recording Quality Grand Piano like our Steinway Grand Piano. All recent student Recitals, as well as many master classes and Private Concerts, are held on-site in our Studio!
Clarkson Piano Recitals are fun, non-competitive, yet important confidence-building events for sharing students’ talents and acquired skills in a supportive, friendly, fun and comfortable environment. They feature the most important performers of all – our students – experiencing the joy of playing on Concert Steinway Grand Piano!
The Past Performances were held at the Green Room, Remenyi House of Music, Toronto; The Living Arts Centre, Mississauga; The Grand Hall of Mississauga’s City Hall; and many other fine venues.
