The Thomas Schultz Summer Piano Seminar is
an annual opportunity for young pianists who are
at an advanced level of study to work with the
distinguished pianist and pedagogue Thomas Schultz.

The Thomas Schultz Summer Piano Seminar

During the piano seminar, each participant prepares two works to play in a masterclass setting and in a public concert, drawing from both traditional repertoire and contemporary compositions. Masterclasses presented by Thomas Schultz and three seminar participant concerts will be open to the public at Campbell Recital Hall in Braun Music Center. The three concerts will also be livestreamed on this page.
