NYC Keyboard Fest 2021
Kids on Synths, Adam Tendler, and Vessels to Motherland: KEYBOARD BONANZA!
A NYIHSS, Vessels to Motherland & MIDHEAVEN NETWORK collaboration:
NYC Keyboard Fest is a 1-day festival containing music performances for any keyboard instrument, electronic and acoustic (synthesizers, piano, piano+electronics, toy piano), with a program ranging from contemporary piano works past 1950 to original electronic music and improvisation.
Objectives of the festival are to erase the boundaries between musical styles in keyboard/piano music, usually kept contained in its own venues, crowd, audiences and performers. NYC Keyboard Fest will attempt to attract performers of varied musical and cultural backgrounds and ages, and provide an experience that reflects the complexity of time and space we all equally occupy today.
Together we intend to dismantle the barriers between what is usually considered a professional composer and a self taught/nonacademic composer. NYC Keyboard Fest will purposely disobey the usual requirements of formal composional education/ higher degree in accepting submissions and look for innovation and personal musical language.
