Dear students and colleagues,It is my pleasure once again to invite you to apply to the fifth edition of the Collaborative Piano Institute and the Vocal Academy, which will take place between June 6th - 26th 2021 at Louisiana State University. We have a lot of exciting new features!We are still planning for an in-person festival, but if COVID restrictions make this impossible, we will once again transition to a fully online format as we did last summer with great success. We are also contemplating a hybrid option in which students (active participants and auditors) have the option to come in person or participate remotely. We will stay flexible in the hopes of offering the best experience possible! Our program is open to all pianists who are interested in the collaborative arts, from undergraduate students to professionals.We are elated to welcome an even larger roster of collaborative piano superstars: Warren Jones (Manhattan School of Music) will join returning faculty members Kathleen Kelly, (Cincinnati College Conservatory, former Director of Musical Studies at the Vienna Staatsoper, and former Head of Music/Music Director at Houston Grand Opera), Rita Sloan (Aspen Music Festival and University of Maryland), Martin Katz (University of Michigan), Jonathan Feldman (Juilliard School and New England Conservatory), Christopher Turbessi (Rice University), Elena Abend (University of Wisconsin), Ana Maria Otamendi (Louisiana State University) and Elena Lacheva (Louisiana State University) among many others.
