Imagine eighteen grand pianos on one stage with students and teachers simultaneously playing duets and trios at the command of a single conductor: an orchestra of pianos. The Multi-Piano Concert, a long-standing Kansas City tradition that takes place again on February 14, 2010 at the Lied Center in Lawrence, Kansas is, in one word, astounding. Since 1993, the Kansas City Music Teachers Association (KCMTA) has held this spectacular event in various forms and on different stages. Expanding from eleven upright pianos to eighteen grands and over 450 performers with light effects and video accompaniment, the Multi-Piano Concert has grown to be the most fun piano event of the season.
