North Coast Piano Festival

A Summer Piano Festival in
Arcata, Calif. USA

Please contact us or check back for the next offering of the North Coast Piano Festival, which we hope will be in 2024.

The North Coast Piano Festival is dedicated to inspiring and training young pianists. Under the guidance of world-famous pedagogues, the festival presents wonderful opportunities for piano students ages 13-23 to experience the art of intensive learning and performing. 

The festival encourages young musicians to expand and enrich their knowledge and performing skills at the piano. We are motivated to give the festival participants a promotional platform in their future dedication.

The North Coast Piano Festival is hosted by the Department of Music at Cal Poly Humboldt in the beautiful city of Arcata, California. Located on the coast between San Francisco and the Oregon border, Arcata is surrounded by giant redwoods and dazzling ocean views. (For more information on the Humboldt Department of Music, visit its website.)

At the North Coast Piano Festival, every student will be able to take private lessons, participate in studio and master classes, take part in theory and accompanying classes and compete at the festival piano competition. The students will be able to enjoy great concerts performed by our world-class faculty and enjoy a relaxing time in the beautiful redwoods. Resident chaperones will help take care of the students and their needs.

Come join us at the North Coast Piano Festival!
