2020-2021 Season

2020-2021 has been a strange year, but we have continued to make music during the most challenging year for arts and education. We have made significant changes in order to comply with safety regulations while still helping students achieve their goals. These include moving private lessons to Zoom, reducing ensemble sizes, rehearsing outdoors, and wearing masks. In place of our solo recitals and concerto competition, we hosted virtual Performance Festivals.

Below, you can find our Spring 2021 and Fall 2020 Concert Videos, which the DUSS students and teachers prepared with only five to six rehearsals. Thank you to DUSS Parents Delsin Menolascino for compiling the 2021 Spring semester videos, and Melissa Rooney for compiling the 2020 Fall semester videos!
