Piano Festival And Competition

Albion College - Goodrich Chapel

611 East Porter Street

Albion, MI, 49224

Website

The Albion College Piano Festival was established in the fall of 2008. It was inspired by the memory of Vera Reed, an Albion resident and piano teacher who taught well into her nineties and played on even later in her life.

While there is a competition element, and students can compete for cash prizes, it is our hope that students will find this festival to be more about opportunities for performance, meeting and hearing other piano students, and taking lessons and/or master classes from Albion piano faculty and guest artists. In other words, we view this festival as educational first and foremost.
