Picnic Concert #3: Samuel Carl Adams’ Études

Music Academy of the West

Long ago, small groups of classical musicians entertained nobility in the elegant salons where they held court. The music was designed for the space – intimate, inviting, elegant in every detail.

Today, modern audiences can partake in this experience in a less formal setting, with a series of exquisite chamber concerts, each preceded by a wine reception.

Chamber Night #4: Schreker to Shostakovich

Chamber Night #2: Mozart, Poulenc & Ravel

If you love shows like “American Idol” but wish there was a classical version – we have an event for you. In this performance competition, a panel of legendary artists weigh in on competing solo piano fellows. The stakes are high, with the winner’s package including a cash prize, recital opportunities, and a commission by notable composer Anthony Cheung. And you have a front row seat.

Solo Piano Competition
