2027 Source Song Festival Events: Save the dates!
Historical Keyboard Festival, January 10-13, 2027
Pianists (solo and collaborative) and their duo partners (voice or strings) spend three immersive days in historical performance practice with several historical keyboards from the Schubert Club Museum collection. Participants will receive three hours of coaching on four historic instruments, and one public masterclass with Richard Egarr and Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya. Participants will also be featured in a noon-time performance on the final day and receive audio recording of the concert.
Ninth Annual SongSLAM, January 31, 2027
The Sparks & Wiry Cries songSLAM is a unique and energizing community event for composer/performer teams to premiere new art songs and compete for cash prizes.
Each team presents a new song of no more than 5 minutes for voice and piano, in any language, for the voting audience, who—in the poetry slam tradition—will then vote on their favorites and award prize money to the winning competitors!
First premiered in NYC in 2015, the songSLAM has now been co-presented with regional partners in four countries and 13 different cities around the globe: NYC, Toronto, Vancouver, Bloomington, Tallahassee, Rochester, London, Ljubljana, Ann Arbor, Cincinnati, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Waco, with even more growth on the horizon.
