Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival

At the Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival, we strive to understand and encourage the uniqueness of each student’s talents and career goals. Our program provides an innovative and successful enhancement to the traditional academic school year for exceptional collegiate pianists world-wide, creating a tuition-free musical Turkish Bazaar for everyone. Our purpose is to help participants develop their own distinctive niche in the world of music.

RPPF is held every summer from June 27-July 17 and offers an exciting mix of lessons, classes, and performances with an internationally renowned, multi-generational faculty. Forty students from approximately seventeen countries choose their own course of study and have about a semester’s worth of private lessons with as many teachers as possible. 

RPPF is a touchstone for artistic awareness and professional inspiration, an unparalleled and profound 3-week piano immersion experience. Learn more at: RebeccaPenneysPianoFestival.org.
