The first International Stretto* Piano Festival was held in May 2021.
The aims of this festival:
- Raise awareness and promote the idea of alternate piano key sizes.
- Promote and elevate the careers of the performers on these keyboards.
- Assist in energizing a community of those who are proponents of this technology.
All pianists perform on pianos or keyboards with keys narrower than normal.
It is truly a unique event and the first of its kind, involving a worldwide collaboration of pianists.
*Stretto means narrow in Italian.
