About the Festival
The Summer Piano Festival at Utah State University offers an exciting opportunity for students ages 14-18 to immerse themselves in a week of music and fun. Participants will participate in performances, private lessons, master classes, and workshops led by USU’s distinguished piano faculty. Each student will be assigned to a piano ensemble and provided repertoire in advance of the festival. Students will rehearse and receive coachings during the festival, then will have the opportunity to perform their piece during the final student concert on June 14. Students will also get to enjoy recreational activities such as kayaking at First Dam and an evening exploring downtown Logan.
