In masterclass and small group settings, there will be classes on technique, performance, interpretation, and small discussion groups and numerous performing opportunites in the masterclasses and final concert.

Other events during the week will include special admission to a Britt Festival rehearsal with guest piano soloist, a workshop on movement for pianists, given by OSF actor and dancer, James Peck, and a final concert including all the participants.
