The Multi-Piano Concert is a unique performance opportunity for students of KCMTA members. The event features 32 performers on 16 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 repertoire features music from across the country and around the world! We'll be featuring a travel/destination theme throughout the concerts and incorporating fun and exciting media again this year. Repertoire selections include a variety of genres – dances, folk songs, well-known classics, original compositions by favorite pedagogical writers, and even a little bit of Pop.
