OPUS 25 – Piano Festival

OPUS is the Academy’s annual piano festival, where we celebrate the piano and the many classical composers who have written fantastic music for the instrument.

Each year, the festival has a new theme and new guests.

For OPUS 25, we are collaborating with the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. We will be visited by six students from there, as well as Professor Marianna Shirinyan and Associate Professor Emil Gryesten.
