Nurture your family’s love of live music — and make memories you’ll never forget

Do you remember the first time classical music gave you goosebumps? When one mesmerizing work made its way into your heart, sparking a lifelong love affair with live performance?
 

Now it’s time to create that same moment of awe and wonder for your entire family. And there’s no better way to do that than by introducing them to the magic of live performance.
 

Thankfully we make that easy here at Pianofest: Students can attend any of our upcoming concerts at the Southampton Cultural Center for free!
 

Join us on Monday evenings throughout July and watch your kids’ faces light up as they …

Hear the piano move from thunderous chords to hushed melodies and back.

Watch the pianist’s fingers fly up and down the keyboard — without even breaking a sweat!
 

And take in the electricity in the room as everyone keeps their eyes glued to the magic happening on stage.
 

So go ahead: Beat the midsummer heat at an upcoming recital — and make musical memories your family will cherish forever. The experience may just inspire a new generation of piano superfans in your home!
