The Piano Masterclass Series offers pianists the opportunity to perform polished works for a class of their peers, led by different guest faculty pianists from NEC's School of Continuing Education as well as guest faculty.
Twice each month, the masterclass will showcase different adult pianists of all levels, and the interactive feedback of a leading artist-instructor. Performers will receive in-depth instruction and advice at a high level of musicianship to further refine and inform their performances. Past guest presenters have included Victor Rosenbaum, Max Levinson, Sergey Schepkin, and Eli Epstein (presenting on performance readiness), as well as various members of the Continuing Ed piano faculty including Marc Ryser, Yukiko Sekino, Mana Tokuno, and Konstantinos Papadakis.
Audience class members can draw ideas of interpretation and execution for their own edification on a broad range of works and from a diverse artistic community. Audience participation in the form of Q&A is encouraged!
To broaden our understanding and perspective even further, guest lecturers from other departments (theory, composition, history, etc.) may also present on performance-related topics.
