Magical Classical Piano Music Inspires Students at Majestic Elementary Arts Academy
It is a piano performance students and staff at Majestic Elementary Arts Academy won’t soon forget. That’s because they were treated to a special concert through the Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation’s “Music-in-Our-Schools” outreach program. It is a program that brings Steinway grand pianos and world-class concert pianists directly into schools.
This performance featured award-winning pianist Misha Galant who competed as a quarterfinalist and semifinalist in the prestigious 2024 Gina Bachauer International Artists Piano Competition. Mr. Galant’s fingers danced across the piano keys as he played classical numbers from Tchaikovsky, Schubert, and George Gershwin. Students learned that the piano can tell stories and convey emotions without lyrics. After each number, students were encouraged to ask questions about the music.
The “Music-in-Our-Schools” program introduces live classical piano music to 20,000 – 25,000 Utah students every year.
Thank you to the Gina Bachauer program and amazing pianist Misha Galant for giving Majestic Elementary Arts Academy students such a rich and memorable music experience!
