The Piano Department is excited to announce this year’s Composer of the Year, Dmitry Kabalevsky. This musical icon will be introduced to students and their families on Sunday, October 9 at 2:00 at our Meet the Composer of the Year presentation in the PCM auditorium. Study of the composer and his works for keyboard will continue throughout the year, culminating in festival recitals and adjudicated performances in the spring.

As always, PCM considers the guidance of local, state, and federal public health agencies as well as best practices adopted in local schools and peer organizations. As such, we continue to strongly recommend indoor masking while on campus and, although it is no longer a requirement, we encourage all eligible students to be vaccinated, and all members of the PCM community to receive any boosters for which they are eligible.
