We are excited to bring many of our talented piano students to the Acker Family Toy Drive & Open House again this year! We are grateful to the musicians who come and share their talents at this event!
Participating Students:
Holiday music is welcome, but in no way require it. The performer may play whatever they have ready and encourage them to use our venue as a dress rehearsal for upcoming recitals and competitions. They will play on a beautiful Steinway Grand Piano. Mistakes are known to happen and this is a forgiving environment where the mistakes will be overlooked. There will be many guests, and for the most part, the piano is simply background music. However, there are always those guests who never leave the piano area since it brings them so much joy. Regardless, we offer all an opportunity to rotate in and take turns for the kids to come and go, as few performers ever want to stay all 4 hours. All levels are welcome to play.
