Perform in Beall Hall

A young child in a white dress and sandals stands in a hallway, looking at an adult man in glasses, a black shirt, and beige pants, who is bent over slightly with his hand extended as if giving a high five. In the background, several people are visible on a stage. The setting appears to be a theater or auditorium.

Mission Statement

The Piano UO Festival is a day-long event, consisting of a series of recitals celebrating a unifying repertoire theme, with master class opportunities for intermediate and advanced level students. This program is organized by the MTNA Collegiate Chapter of the University of Oregon, co-sponsored by the University of Oregon SOMD and keyboard department, and has historically been funded by MTNA Enrichment Grants.

This festival is entirely run and organized by student volunteers as a way to provide valuable performance opportunities to growing musicians in the greater Pacific Northwest area. Our collegiate members receive training on adjudication, administrative work, event planning, and masterclass teaching as part of the festival’s responsibilities. Past participants of our festival hail from Eugene, Salem, Portland, and Vancouver, WA.
