The Multi-Piano Concert is a unique performance opportunity for students of KCMTA members. The event features 36 performers on 18 grand pianos simultaneously playing duet repertoire under the direction of a conductor. The concerts, which originated in 1993, have grown from 200 participating students to over 500 performers.
Repertoire: This year's theme is "Musikopoly: from Rags to Rock." The repertoire is a sampling of diverse genres of music that have been a part of American pop culture, with a special emphasis on music from the 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. Styles represented include jazz, swing, rock, folk, classics, latin and more!
