Designed for non-professional pianists aged 35 and older, the Adult initiative at Vivace is designed to create an atmosphere of complete immersion in music, with specific programs only for adults!

Participants can choose to attend Vivace 2024 in-person only. All program information remains the same.

All participants receive a minimum of 5 45-minute master classes, and are able to study with multiple faculty. All master classes are open to be observed by all adult participants.

Participants have access to all festival concerts, courses, discussions, interviews & more.

Adult piano participants also have access to the following special opportunities:

– Studio Classes: ADULT PARTICIPANTS ONLY! Studio classes are designed to create more performance opportunities to help eliminate performance anxiety. Studio classes build connections and bonds between participants and help us celebrate great music together.
– Q & A and social engagements with faculty members: exclusive sessions with our world-class faculty for adult participants only.
– Four-Hand Collaboration: Vivace will facilitate four-hand piano and other chamber music collaborations among adult participants and faculty.
– While adult piano participants have access to all festival events, adult studio classes and master classes are open only to adult participants.
– Final performance: participants have the opportunity to perform in a final public recital.
