Golden Key Music Institute, in partnership with Klavierhaus, presents the third season of the Golden Key Salon Series, featuring both new and distinguished performers. Designed to bring artists and audience together, each concert offers performances by several artists, and the audience is invited to meet the artists afterwards. The salons are held at 7:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month, from October through May, at Klavierhaus, 211 West 58th Street, New York City.

The month's salon is a piano master class titled Fearless Performing: Cultivating Communicative Power, with Madeline Bruser, founder of the Institute.  Ms. Bruser is author of The Art of Practicing: A Guide to Making Music from the Heart, and has conducted seminars and workshops at the Juilliard School and other U.S. conservatories.  At this master class Ms. Bruser will speak about her approach and then help gifted young pianist Phoebe Pan bring more ease, fluidity, and communicative power to her playing, preparing her for the intense state of flow that happens in performance. A Q&A with Ms. Bruser and Ms. Pan, and a wine reception will follow the master class.

The Golden Key Salon Series at Klavierhaus aims to foster artistic development by bringing artists and audience together in an intimate setting for uplifting musical evenings.
