The Concordia Summer Piano Music Fest is a vibrant, two-week experience designed for young pianists aged from 10 yrs to college students. It’s more than just a typical summer camp—it’s an opportunity to immerse in piano music, explore new musical concepts, and have fun while doing it. This program goes beyond the usual practice routine. It’s about discovering the elements that make piano playing exciting and bringing out the joy in music-making.
At Concordia, we focus on more than just perfecting technical skills. We guide our young pianists through a musical journey, helping them understand what it truly means to be a musician. Our goal is to inspire them to not only excel at the keyboard but also embrace the broader world of music. Throughout the two weeks, participants will deepen their passion for music and experience the thrill of performance in a supportive, dynamic setting.
