Collaborative Piano Ensembles
Piano majors at the UTRGV School of Music regularly perform with their fellow students as collaborative pianists, chamber musicians, and ensemble pianists with the UTRGV Symphony Orchestra, the Wind Ensemble, and the University Choir and Master Chorale. In addition to their on-campus performances, multiple students have earned full-time employment as collaborative pianists for school districts throughout Texas and also attended prestigious MM and DMA programs with collaborative piano assistantships upon graduation. Past student collaborative performances have included programs such as “The Art of the Piano Trio” (Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Maslanka, and Shostakovich) as well as art song recitals featuring student voice and piano duos.
