Sonatina Festival

March 9, 2024

The FMTA Sonatina Festival is an annual competition traditionally held in the spring at the Colorado Christian University Music Center. Please review the Festival Standing Rules below. Repertoire is chosen from the approved list also found linked below. Students are grouped in classes according to the repertoire list. Entrants are challenged to perform two contrasting movements memorized from the same sonatina. Seasoned adjudicators evaluate entrants and select winners. Ribbons and trophies may be awarded. At Honors Recitals held the day of the Festival, winners are recognized with an opportunity to perform for family and friends.  The festival will take place from 7:30 AM to 3 PM.  Recitals will take place at 4 PM & 5 PM. Helen Gleason chairs this event with assistance from Carrie Christensen. You may contact Helen Gleason by email (helengleason@comcast.net) or phone/text: (615-533-5529).
