Leon Fleisher Academy All-inclusive program for young musicians

08/04/2026

Throughout the year, our young musicians have opportunities to perform, travel, and make music on remarkable stages around the world.

Because some of the most unforgettable musical education happens when we step beyond the classroom — and into the world.

One of the most treasured traditions of the Leon Fleisher Academy.

Every morning, Yury Shadrin leads our Score Reading Class—a class that Leon Fleisher himself taught to his students.Instead of practicing the piano, students gather to sight-read symphonies, explore orchestration, and discover how an orchestra lives within the piano.

The goal is not simply to play the notes, but to ask deeper questions: What was the composer really trying to say? Why was this harmony, texture, or voicing chosen? Learning to think through the score is the foundation of becoming a true musician.

We are deeply grateful to continue sharing this invaluable part of Leon Fleisher’s legacy with the next generation. 🎼

Learning opera through everyday conversations! 🎭✨

Our Young Artist Program Director, Tianyi Li, turned ordinary daily dialogue into an opera script, giving students a fun and creative glimpse into how stories, characters, and music come to life on stage. Laughter, imagination, and learning—all in one unforgettable lesson.

Another standing ovation! 👏✨
A wonderful outreach concert by the Leon Fleisher Academy at Holy Trinity Music Community in Oxford, Maryland. Thank you for your warm hospitality and for making our annual speedboat ride such a memorable tradition—always one of our students’ favorite highlights of the summer!

We are so proud of our young artists for sharing their beautiful music and bringing joy to the community. Until next year! 🎹🎻💙

We do sports. We do music. We do both with way too much enthusiasm. 😂🏃🎹
Life at Leon Fleisher Academy is never boring. Between rehearsals, there’s always time for a little friendly competition. 🎶💙

This week, inside our piano studios.

Every lesson is a conversation. Every rehearsal is a search. Every phrase is shaped with curiosity, patience, and imagination.

A few quiet moments with our incredible faculty—the work behind something extraordinary. 🎼✨
