The Festival for Creative Pianist is going virtual in 2021!


This one-of-a-kind festival encompasses classical, jazz and other musical idioms, along with improvisation and composition, in a social constructivist educational setting. 

Judges bestow one special, individually-tailored award certificate to each participant to spotlight that person's finest achievement.  We are 100% focused on constructive feedback, musical growth, and learning opportunities.

Online learning activities start in April and end in July. Most live events are June 4th - 13th, with additional event through the four months.

Open to pianists of all ages and levels - participate from anywhere in the world!
