The BravoPiano! Festival, will be launched March 8 – 12, 2018, and our volunteers will again play an integral part in producing a very successful, audience-pleasing event. Exciting and varied programs during this inaugural event will include piano recitals by past competition prize winners, a chamber music performance, discussions, jazz piano, and a gala concerto concert with the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra, held in several Hilton Head Island venues.  It’s all new for the audiences and volunteers alike.  The Festival is adding a third dimension to our HHIPC rotation;  the competition for 18-30 year old pianists will be presented in 2019; the 13-17 year olds will again compete in 2020; and the Festival format will again be presented in 2021.

HOW TO SIGN UP

In early January, a volunteer information envelope will be mailed to all registered names in our volunteer database.  This mailing lists events, available positions, job descriptions, (click here) and venues.  It is necessary to complete and return the volunteer participation post card within that mailing to be eligible for assignment.  If you have not yet volunteered for HHIPC in the past, please complete the registration form below in order to be included in that mailing. Prospective volunteers are encouraged to be alert to emails pertaining to HHIPC news and refer to the HHIPC website for volunteer updates.
