Dr. Sergei KUZNETSOV
Artistic Director
Dear young pianists, teachers, and music lovers!
It is my pleasure to invite you to join the 2020 Glissando Piano Festival in beautiful City of San Diego, California!
My great mission as an educator is to inspire young musicians and connect them with their audiences. It is such a fantastic feeling to watch talents to find their way in the world of music.
I truly believe that every single student has potential talent, however, the talent needs to be discovered and nurtured in order to grow and thrive. This is why it is very important for me to motivate students to help them achieve their most daring dreams.
Please join me in this adventure, perform, learn, listen and inspire others. Let’s pass the art of piano performance to future generations and make this upcoming Glissando Festival extraordinary!
