FESTIVALS
PUEBLO KEYBAORD ARTS FESTIVAL
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great excitement that we at Colorado State University Pueblo look forward to the 16th annual Pueblo Keyboard Arts Festival, scheduled to take place Nov. 5 - Nov. 7, 2026. 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."
November 6, Piano Masterclasses 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Open to Middle/High/Collegiate School Students.
November 7 PKAF Young Artist Competition, 9:00 a.m.
Offers cash prizes in the Junior and Senior, Solo and Ensemble divisions.
November 7, “Monster” Piano Concert, 7:00 p.m.
An all-piano extravaganza featuring faculty, guest artists from around the state, current CSU Pueblo students, alumni, and friends.
