New Piano Ensemble Program at Steinway Hall
A partnership between Steinway Hall and Third Street Music School Settlement has resulted in a new Piano Ensemble Program in which children and adults can experience the joys of group music making.
Held at Steinway Hall, ensembles for adults on Tuesdays and children on Saturdays will provide opportunities to play the piano in every configuration imaginable: one piano four hands, two piano four hands, two piano eight hands, etc.
Ensemble participants will receive expert coaching from experienced performers and educators as they explore music from the baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary eras and the jazz and popular music idioms.
Other components of the Piano Ensemble Program include Master Classes with renowned guest artists and public performances at Steinway Hall at the end of each semester.
