Highlighting this year’s interactive event are renowned classical pianist Tanya Gabrielian, sophisticated and inventive jazz pianist Randy Porter, and boogie-woogie blues extraordinaire Arthur Migliazza. Concerts and workshops are geared toward music-makers and music-appreciators alike. There are two concerts:
- Friday April 13, 7:30pm featuring all three artists celebrating the versatility and virtuosity of piano
- Saturday April 14, 7:30pm highlighting collaborations with all three artists and even more amazing solo performances
All three pianists will perform an entirely different program at each nightly concert. Saturday daytime will be filled with workshops, masterclasses, and musical conversations with the three world-class artists.
A two-day, all-inclusive pass for all concerts and workshop is $80. Students age 21 and under get the all-inclusive pass for $40. Individual concert tickets are also available for the Friday and Saturday night concerts at $35 each.
