Launched in 2024 with Gerardo Teissonnière as its Artistic Director, the Young Artist Piano Seminar (YAPS) is an intensive, one-week program designed to inspire and challenge advanced pianists ages 10 to 18. Working closely with CIM’s world-class faculty, young artists from all over the world refine their performances and deepen their musical and technical skills with daily lessons, masterclasses, Dalcroze eurhythmics, piano literature classes, a concerto competition, and a final concert on July 12.
