Celebrated for more than 25 years as a breathtaking weekend of
recitals and master classes with the world's greatest keyboard
virtuosos, the International Piano Festival is led by festival founder
Abbey Simon, University of Houston Cullen Professor and one of the most
recorded classical artists of all time.
Since
its inception in 1975, HSF has entertained nearly a half million
theatergoers with free performances in Hermann Park's Miller Outdoor
Theatre.
Founded in September 1998, the Preparatory and Continuing Studies (PCS)
program facilitates exemplary music education in the form of private
instruction, professional development, and community outreach.
Since 1990, classical music's rising stars have
come together in Houston, joining an international faculty of performers,
conductors, and soloists. Among nearly 50 public events each June, featured
performances include the Festival Orchestra Series every Saturday and chamber
music and jazz on the Perspectives Series every Tuesday, in the Moores Opera
House.
