Hi friends of The Piano Pod! I want to invite you to something very special. On Saturday, October 4th at 1 PM, we are stepping out of the studio and onto the stage for our very first Piano Pod Live in Concert at Stiefel Hall, presented in partnership with Mannes Prep at The New School, a pre-college music program offering comprehensive and nurturing pre-professional training. This won't be just another concert. It's a 1-hour, one-of-a-kind experience featuring 4 of our past guests: Pianists who are reshaping the classical music world. Dr. Ji-Hoon Kerska, building opportunities for children through Keys to Success. Elena Beinmann, opening doors to Johann Sebastian Bach's music with her bold and innovative transcriptions. Dr. Nana Ogboh, celebrating Black composers and honoring cultural legacy through Juneteenth LP. Donna Wang Friedman, award-winning pianist, producer, and filmmaker, creating projects that amplify immigrant and underrepresented voices. Each of these female trailblazers will perform, then sit down with me for an intimate conversation before coming together for a panel that ties it all back to our theme: creativity, connection, and community. The Piano Pod with Yukimi Song with Yukimi Song with Yukimi Song has always been about bridging the gap between classical music and today's audiences. This event brings that mission to life. You won't just hear extraordinary performances, you will leave inspired by the stories and the vision behind the music. The concert is open to public and it marks a huge milestone for us. Don't miss the chance to be part of this moment. Please visit thepianopod.com/live-events to reserve your seat and, if you are able, support this project so we can continue creating experiences like this together. Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of music, storytelling, and connection.
