Mission

We believe that… the ability to play not merely to pay…is a compelling concept of PianoSummer.

PianoSummer’s commitment to this belief continues with the acceptance of gifted students who will live, learn and perform on our campus without charge for tuition and housing.

About PianoSummer

PianoSummer is an international summer program dedicated solely to piano music. It features an integrated approach to learning and performance under the artistic direction of master pianist and teacher Vladimir Feltsman. Gifted students from around the world join with devoted musicians and teachers to learn more about the art of the piano and, ultimately, more about themselves and their place in the world of music.
