The Festival for Creative Pianists is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a vision of uplifting creative expression and nurturing creative skills at the piano. We offer programs and opportunities for creative pianists of all ages and skill levels.

The Festival for Creative Pianists and Abundant Silence honors the work of 21st Century musical artists. We strive to compensate these exceptional professionals fairly for their time, effort, and creative skill. The pricing of our programs and publications reflects this goal. We continue to strive for inclusivity and diversity in our program participation and outreach as well as our selection of 21st Century musical artists who we publish and support.

Your support provides engaging, fun, and creative programs for piano students, educators, and enthusiasts, launching us into 2026.
