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, followed by a post-concert chat with the artists and a wine reception. The salons are generally 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 series includes 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 creator of Fearless Performing: An E-zine for Musicians Who Want to Break Through to a New Level of Performance. She has conducted seminars and workshops at the Juilliard School and other U.S. conservatories.  

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.
