The Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards and the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies are delighted to announce the conference-festival Forte|Piano 2025: Crafting Soundscapes.
Forte|Piano 2025 will provide a gathering spot where those interested in historical pianos can celebrate past accomplishments, experience the current vitality of the field, and cultivate spaces for new ideas to blossom. We invite you to enjoy a varied and stimulating program of performances, lecture-recitals, academic papers, roundtable discussions, and free evening concerts that are open to the public. All events draw on the CCHK’s renowned collection of historical instruments and will take place at the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, nestled above one of Ithaca’s idyllic gorges.
