Kretzer Piano Music Foundation Presents YAMAHA Clavinova Keyboard Festival Today

The Kretzer Piano Music Foundation (KPMF) today invited music lovers of all ages to a very special musical event - The YAMAHA Clavinova Keyboard Festival. FREE and open to the public, the Festival will be held on the Plaza at CityPlace today, October 31, from 11 am to 3 pm.

The Festival will showcase the talents of more than 100 young musicians, including several Kretzer Piano Music Foundation scholarship winners, most of which will be performing in Halloween costumes. With musical numbers ranging from a Chopin Prelude to hummable melodies from Phantom of the Opera, the lineup will include performances by students from both Bak Middle School of the Arts and Dreyfoos School of the Arts, as well as by the audience-wowing Kretzer Kids. The Festival will kick off at 11 am with the dynamic Faith's Place Drum Corps.

"We are very excited about sponsoring this unique event," says KPMF Founder Kathi Kretzer. "This is a great opportunity for music fans to come together and enjoy 'live' music performed by the young stars of tomorrow. In fact, one of the lucky performers that day will win a YAMAHA Clavinova digital piano, valued at $2,199."

"Best of all," adds Kretzer, "The Clavinova Keyboard Festival brings to life the YAMAHA philosophy that music participation enriches all our lives, which is also one of the guiding principles of the Kretzer Piano Music Foundation."
