Pueblo Keyboard Arts Festival

It is with great excitement that we at CSU Pueblo look forward to the next annual Pueblo Keyboard Arts Festival, scheduled to take place October 31 - November 2, 2024. Combining quality musical programs with educational opportunities for young and college-age pianists, we hope to provide a welcoming platform for all interested in immersing themselves in the art of keyboard playing. It is my hope that participants and audience will find this Festival serves as a source of inspiration, knowledge, and one of the many elements that lead to the growth of the "complete musician." Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions regarding the events or if I may assist you in any way. Dr. Zahari Metchkov
