CMA is pleased to host a concert by the extraordinary young students chosen to participate in the Southeastern Piano Festival (SEPF).

"The Southeastern Piano Festival presents a perfect symbiosis of the new generation of piano talent in search of inspiration and challenge, and the world-class guest artists who provide that inspiration," Festival Artistic Director, Marina Lomazov, said. "The attraction of the Festival lies in its versatility: be one a budding piano virtuoso, a music lover, or a piano teacher, the Festival offers something for everyone who loves piano."
