PRISMA PERFORMING OPPORTUNITY

PRISMA has offered an opportunity for selected participants in our festival to perform with a guest pianist in an April 12 concert and to introduce master classes at its 2019 event.

Edward Sungpil Kim is returning for his fifth time and is an audience favourite.

Two performers will be invited to be part of his concert, playing for up to six minutes each at the beginning. They will be selected from piano, strings or instrumental.

In addition, several speech arts participants will be invited to take part in master classes taking place June 17 to 29.
