"Welcome! Conscious Listening is a skill set of making connections with music, with others, and with life. This festival provides multiple points of engagement to focus listening through the lens of piano music. After we sharpen our listening skills together, we can take them away and apply it to anything in life.

"When the ears are in tune, the mystery of music will unveil herself." 

Sujatri Reisinger, Founder, Klavierhaus


 

"I've been struck time and again by how naturally Hsing-ay's excellent training blends with her innate talent...her acute ear leads to unique insights into what the music is saying with admirable integrity and imagination."  

Larry Graham, Queen Elisabeth Int'l Piano Competition Winner and former professor at the University of Colorado - Boulder
