Celebration Recital
Chair: Tianyao Xie
RAMTA’s annual Celebration Recital is a chance for member teachers to share their students’ performances with each other.
The Celebration Recital was a part of our 50th anniversary celebration as an organization in 2017, as well as continuing our tradition of recognizing our graduating seniors.
Each teacher is invited to enter two of their students in the recital. Students can be of all ages and performance levels.
The Celebration Recital will be held on Friday, April 10th, 2026 at 7:00pm at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church.
Spring Musicale
Chair: Tianyao Xie
We will be exploring the light-hearted and creative side of our club! We know there are hidden talents of many kinds within this group. “Ensembles” can mean many things and could include friends outside of RAMTA. Let your imagination take off. The Musicale will take place Thursday May 14th, 2026 at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2830 18th Avenue NW.
This recital will function as our April meeting. Teachers are invited to prepare music of any genre to highlight the incredible diversity of our community members and end the 2023-24 RAMTA season with a warm resolution.
