Virtual Edition!

This year the e-Piano MusikFest International will be conducted entirely online. Due to the format change, we had to make a few modifications to the content of the Festival.

ABOUT MUSIKFEST

All MusikFest Participants will receive 5 private lessons during the MusikFest. All lessons will be conducted via Zoom. MusikFest will manage all lesson arrangements. There will be evening performances with participants either performing live or submitting recordings to be broadcast during the recital. There will be no chamber music component to the festival this year.
