Lobby performances are not intended to be as prestigious as clinic sessions or concert performances for division sessions and general sessions of the GMEA Conference. Lobby performances should be chamber music performed by small instrumental and vocal ensembles between regular conference sessions at volumes that will not prohibit normal conversation by conference participants. Lobby performances must not exceed the time allotted.
You can read updated Lobby Group Performance Guidelines HERE.
