This season invites us on a journey across continents and through time, exploring the universal language of the piano and the artists who bring its stories to life. From dazzling virtuosity to deeply personal expression, each performance has been thoughtfully curated to inspire curiosity, connection, and joy.
“This will be a season filled with breathtaking entertainment experiences, innovative educational programming, and music of the highest level. As our season’s theme indicates, it’s truly a Season of Stars.”
– Bram Conley President, Board of Directors
Come be inspired by Caden Lin, the sensational young pianist and Gold Medal winner of the 2025 Palm Springs International Piano Competition’s Junior Division. With his breathtaking talent, youthful energy, and unforgettable stage presence, Caden is capturing hearts wherever he plays. Don’t miss this exciting evening of music with one of today’s brightest new talents—live in concert! Tickets available through PSIPC.org
Noche de Bolero is an intimate two-part concert—part classical, part contemporary—created as a special benefit in support of the Palm Springs International Piano Competition. From the piano, Venezuelan-born artist Marco Antonio Godoy shares his journey of arriving in the United States with just two bags—one with clothes, the other with a keyboard—and the challenges, discipline, and hope that shaped his path.
Your ticket includes a full evening experience: a Mexican buffet dinner and drinks from Casuelas Café, one of Palm Desert’s most authentic restaurants, followed by a story-driven performance that celebrates the lifelong impact of music education—reminding us that even when young pianists don’t become professional concert artists, the foundation they build through music translates into confidence, resilience, and success in every area of life.
Featuring the medalists from the 2025 Junior International Competition and Patrick Evans, Master of Ceremonies!
