Peng Piano Academy

Peng Piano Academy Summer piano festival designed for well-motivated piano students up to age 18 to learn in a noncompetitive, musically intensive and nourishing environment.

The Peng Piano Academy is a summer piano festival designed for well-motivated piano students up to age 18 to learn in a noncompetitive, musically intensive and nourishing environment. Our program promotes a wide array of understanding on fine musicianship, and in particular, driven to achieve a high-level of pianism. Founded in 2013 by Karen Lin Peng (Boston Conservatory, Mannes College of Music),

the goal of the Peng Piano Academy is to bring together a community of passionate and musically-minded young pianists in an environment that will -- for one intensive week -- push them beyond their musical boundaries, allow them to explore the vast and inspiring world of the piano, and gain a fuller understand and appreciation for their art form. The campsite is set at the Unitarian church in Palo Alto, featuring a formal concert hall and other fine facilities. Its tree-lined and secluded location provides a peaceful surrounding for the young musicians to learn and reflect upon their designated musical elements. Students will engage in a week-long program of masterclasses, private lessons, lectures and workshops. All participants will perform in the final concert on the last day.
