In addition to the work-intensive day, activities will include picnics and recreational activities, as well as field trips to Porthouse Theater and Blossom Music Center (see the complete daily schedule). Some recitals are open to the public; stop back here for more info and our daily schedule.

All classes, lessons and monitored practice sessions will take place in Kent State's Hugh A. Glauser School of Music. The school offers a wide variety of bachelor's and master’s degree programs in performance, conducting, music education, composition, ethnomusicology, musicology, and theory as well as three doctoral programs in music education, musicology-ethnomusicology, and theory-composition.

The Piano Institute at Kent State is proud to include the privilege of a gala concert at Severance Hall’s Reinberger Chamber Hall in Cleveland. Built in 1931, Severance Hall is the home of the Cleveland Orchestra. Hailed among the world's most beautiful concert halls for more than half a century, Severance Hall recently underwent a two-year, $36-million restoration and expansion.

Piano Institute participants will also have the unique opportunity to share in Kent/Blossom Music. Kent/Blossom Music is known internationally as one of the premiere summer institutions for summer collegiate level study of solo, chamber and orchestral literature.

The application deadline is April 25. Scholarships are available; learn more from the Piano Institute administrator.
