Klaipėda Piano Masters

Biggest piano academy in the Baltic States for upcoming pianists and musical entrepreneurs. 9th edition - July 16-27 in Klaipėda, Lithuania

KLAIPĖDA PIANO MASTERS invites pianists from all over the world to receive knowledge and training while discovering the beauty of Samogitia and the Baltic Sea. Established in 2016, KPM was the first academy in the world to include Perfomance Psychology, Presentation, Physiotherapy & Massage, as well as Stage Style & Fashion into its piano program. Each year artistic director Gintaras Januševičius

and his team update their program to help aspiring pianists navigate the constantly changing world of classical music. "In today's constantly changing music environment, organizational skills, versatility, and the ability to analyze the market play a critical role. Many talented artists struggle to make their voices heard while others manage to turn their passion for music into a wonderful job. When we created this unique program of KLAIPĖDA PIANO MASTERS back in 2016, our goal was to train the next generation of piano personalities and equip them with the tools necessary to create opportunities for themselves and grow their audiences. Inspiring success stories of our students show us that we are on the right path."
