16th Annual CMC Faculty Keyboard Marathon: Revolution! Music in Times of Turmoil, Trouble, and Triumph
The theme of this year’s Annual Keyboard Marathon is “Revolution! Music in Times of Turmoil, Trouble, and Triumph.” Twenty pianists are participating, performing works by eighteen composers. The music dates from the 18th century to the present day, including a world premiere! See our website for the complete program.
This year’s concert will be a true marathon, with four 50 minute sets, divided by ten minute intermissions. There will be a concession stand in the courtyard for audience refreshments during the intermissions, then a champagne reception at the end of the concert for performers and audience to enjoy, providing a great way to meet and greet CMC’s talented piano faculty.
Come prepared to immerse yourself in a world full of passion, virtuosity, poetry, and celebration!
