CHICAGO DUO PIANO FESTIVAL
Called a “duo piano mecca” by the Pioneer Press, the Chicago Duo Piano Festival was founded in 1988 by MIC’s award-winning resident piano duo, Claire Aebersold and Ralph Neiweem. Its mission is to foster a deeper interest in the repertoire, performance, and teaching of music for piano, four hands and two pianos. The Duo-Piano Winter Mini-Fest, held each February, celebrates piano repertoire for four hands and offers a weekend of fun for students of all ages looking for a unique opportunity to work on and perform duo piano repertoire.
Registration is open and the deadline is January 22, 2010. This year’s summer festival will take place July 9–18, 2010. For more information, visit chicagoduopianofestival.org.
