"Composers have traditionally written their most imaginative and personal works for solo piano," explains Joseph Rubenstein, Artistic Director of Keys to the Future.

With five premieres and many other recent works, Keys to the Future will inform audiences as to how gifted contemporary composers are writing for this versatile instrument."
