The Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards fosters imaginative approaches to the performance and study of keyboard instruments, their technological underpinnings, their intersections with other arts, and their participation in the global currents of cultural and social history.
Hosted by the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards and Cornell University's Department of Music, the Chamber Music Collective (CMC) returns to Ithaca this June, presenting three evening concerts that explore the theme of “recreation”—a concept that embraces renewal, transformation, and the collaborative spirit of musical performance.
Registration for the 2026 Fortepiano Tech Academy at the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards is now open! Join us for two days of instruction by Ken Eschete and Ken Walkup on Friday and Saturday, June 26 & 27, 2026, with an opening evening reception on Thursday, June 25.
