The Department of Music announces the Bunny Just Piano Festival taking place February 21-24, 2013 at Minnesota State Mankato.
The Bunny Just Piano Festival was created with a dual mission: to provide an outstanding training opportunity for aspiring young pianists and to offer a showcase of piano performances with distinguished artists and promising young talents alike. Participants perform for a world-class instructor in a warm, nurturing, educational environment. The four-day festival is an excellent opportunity for music enthusiasts, teachers, and students to gather and experience fine piano performance.
Three students will be awarded for their efforts. Cash awards are $300 for First Place, $200 for Second Place, and $100 for Third Place. Participants will be judged and rated by this year’s clinician, Dr. Jay Hershberger.
Pianist Jay Hershberger has appeared internationally in concerts and recitals. He has performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC, and is a frequent participant in the Great Romantics Festival in Hamilton, Ontario. An Associate Professor of Piano at Concordia College in Moorhead MN, Dr. Hershberger maintains an active and successful studio of collegiate pianists. He is vice president of the American Liszt Society, and is an advocate for informed scholarship and performance of the Hungarian composer's music. His principal teachers were Robert Roux, Boaz Sharon, and Robert Hamilton.
