International Keyboard Institute & Festival

The International Keyboard Institute and Festival is a summer piano festival that offers two weeks of concerts, masterclasses and lectures, and is open to participant students as well as the public. Since 1999, the Festival has attracted students from around the world who have the opportunity to attend the Festival to study with international Faculty and Artists, participate in masterclasses, and attend nightly concerts and special weekend lectures and events given by some of the world’s best-known pianists and scholars. Students receive three lessons per week and can observe other lessons throughout the day. The Festival has grown from a base of 30 participants to well over 100 each season. Participants who attend the Festival for two weeks are eligible to compete for $25,000 in prices by the JMW Consultants, Inc. Scholarship Awards.
