Donate today to support Festival for Creative Pianists programs!! We had an amazing time during our in-person program in 2025, brining together dozens of participants and teaching artists, community members, and live stream viewers. Your support provides engaging, fun, and creative programs for piano students, educators, and enthusiasts, launching us into 2026.

Check out our recordings from 2025 of our Saturday night headline concert with Pianist in Residence, Daniel Inamorato, and this educational workshop with Wynn-Anne Rossi on Levels and Limitations in Improvisation and Composition and one on Extended Techniques at the Piano with Brendan Jacklin. Our 2026 festival will feature our new Pianist in Residence, Alexa Stier!

Your gift of any size is vital for continuing our programs. In addition to our in-person program, your gift supports our growing online community filled with creative activities and challenges, our Pianist in Residence program, and commissioning of new works for piano.

Help us reach our goal of $20,000 to support our programs—help us reach our goal today to support creative learning and development at the piano! Dedicate your gift in honor or memory of someone who has creatively inspire you.
