About the Festival

The Swan City Piano Festival aims to engage the vibrant arts culture of Lakeland through a multi-day celebration of pianists and piano repertoire, past and present. The Festival champions aesthetically-diverse pianists from around the country with unique musical and curatorial voices, and commissions composers to write new works that cultivate a living repertoire. World class guest artists connect with community members of all ages through educational programming and immersive performance events. 

Our fifth season will take place June 6-8, 2025, featuring Lindsay Garritson, Lynne Arriale, Sean Kennard, and composer-in-residence Linda Joy Shishan. We will also have a special preview event on May 29, featuring Tal Cohen, Dennis Fleitz and Robert Fleitz.

All events are COMPLETELY FREE!
