Last but not least, we are excited to share insights from our Pianist in Residence and the collaborative commissioning of a new work. We asked composer Che Buford to tell us about the piece they are creating in collaboration with our Pianist in Residence, Daniel Inamorato.

#newmusic #commission

We would like to thank everyone who applied to this year’s call! We received over 300 submissions, and we were truly blown away by the quality and creativity of the pieces that were sent to us. It is our pleasure to announce that we have selected five winners and ten honorable mentions.

What makes the Festival for Creative Pianists so special is how it brings together a complete piano music ecosystem — connecting learners, educators, artists, and composers in a continuous, inspiring cycle of creation and learning.
