For seven days on the Cornell University campus, 12 young pianists will be invited from around the world on full-tuition to be immersed in one of the world’s most significant collections of performance-ready historical pianos. Participants will work intimately with internationally-renowned artists in daily masterclasses and have the opportunity of a lifetime to practice daily and perform on historical pianos from the Cornell collection. Visit our Academy main page to learn more and to apply.
Additionally, we will host a two-day Piano Tech Academy immediately prior to the week of festivities. Curriculum and registration details available here.
