Tea Time Concert: Piano Program

Harmonic Refractions

This year, the Piano Program introduces “Kaleidoscope Keys.” Our piano theme transforms the instrument into a vibrant canvas, narrating stories that have shaped our world. In our upcoming Autumn Tea-Time Concert, “Harmonic Refractions,” we embark on a journey through innovative harmonies. Much like a kaleidoscope's dazzling patterns, this performance spotlights compositions that push the boundaries of harmony, offering a rich tapestry of musical exploration.
