Welcome!
The Rolfs Piano Series cordially invites you to attend our 2006 Winter- Weekend International Classical PianoFest during January and February.
Our 2006 Classical PianoFest presents five concert pianists of international stature and expands programming to include concertos as well as recital repertoire.
This programming format provides audiences with more opportunities to hear live performances of piano concertos and enjoy this elegant form of musical expression.
The Rolfs Piano Series brings to Northwest Florida and South Alabama Gulf Coasts critically acclaimed classical pianists of various nationalities.
This international diversity of artistry and interpretation is a hallmark of the series. You will marvel at the virtuoso artistry of pianists interpreting ageless
masterpieces and performing avant-garde works by contemporary composers. You will applaud as these exceptionally gifted pianists leave a legacy of their own.
Our intimate performance space is acoustically favorable for the piano. It brings the audience and pianist together in a setting suggesting the
pianist is performing only for you. It lets you relax in comfortable curved cushioned seating in serene surroundings and enjoy an afternoon of classical piano music
shared with some of the most celebrated pianists gracing the great concert halls of the world. You may meet these world-class pianists personally at their post-performance
complimentary artist reception.
Thank you for sharing the Rolfs Piano Series Seventeenth Season of presenting premier classical piano performances for Northwest Florida and
South Alabama Gulf Coast audiences to enjoy.
