Thank you for supporting the
Festival for Creative Pianists

This festival is the only competition of its kind in the world, encompassing classical, jazz and other musical idioms in a constructive educational setting. Students compete for standard baroque through contemporary repertory prizes and/or for novel prizes that promote neglected but important musical skills and repertory - e.g., improvisations (any style), original concerto cadenzas & classical embellishing (skills demonstrated by nearly all great composers yet seldom seen today), versatility (needed to thrive in today's competitive market), lyricism (usually overshadowed by "loud and fast" playing), original compositions (too few venues exist for young serious composers), works by female composers (underrepresented elsewhere), tasteful arrangements & transcriptions (often disallowed in other venues), etc.

Abundant Silence is a 501c3 organization and your donation may have tax benefits.  
All donations of $500 or more are considered personal or corporate sponsors and will be acknowledged in the Festival's annual programs.
