Theme and Variations is one of the oldest and most popular musical forms.  In this educational concert, students perform sets of variations in teams, for a fun evening of music and prizes.  This year's Gala marked the 10th Anniversary of the partnership between Sondra Hopper's studio and my own! 

2014's winning team played a set of Beethoven variations on the opera "La Molinara"
