Crafting Soundscapes: A Festival Celebrating Pianos in History and History in Pianos
August 5-10, 2025
The Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards and the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies proudly announce the conference-festival Forte|Piano 2025: a gathering spot where those interested in historical pianos can celebrate the past accomplishments and current vitality of the field and cultivate spaces for new ideas to blossom. Drawing on Cornell’s renowned collection of historical pianos, surrounded by the idyllic Fingerlakes regions, we will enjoy a richly varied program of lecture-recitals, performances, panels, case studies sessions, and public evening concerts. Plan to join us August 5-10, 2025 in Ithaca, NY.
