Kick off your holiday week with

two evenings of magnificent piano music

The Fourth of July holiday conjures an immediate array of sounds, from burgers sizzling on the grill to the thunderous drumming of fireworks.

But here at Pianofest, there’s another sound we like to associate with these summer celebrations: live piano music! And next week, you have two opportunities to relax, recharge, and be inspired by some of the brightest emerging stars of the piano world.

On Monday, July 1, Annaliese Soros Visiting Artist Yefim Bronfman — one of today’s most admired and in-demand pianists — will lead a masterclass with Pianofest students in Southampton.

And on Wednesday, July 3, our pianists will be in East Hampton for another evening of thrilling music-making.

Whether you join us on Monday, Wednesday — or both — we look forward to experiencing these incredible performances together at Pianofest 2024!
