CONCERTS AND EVENTS

Historical Piano Concerts, Inc.

Admission:

$20.00 per adult.

Children and students are welcome without charge.

Series ticket subscriptions are now available.

House Concerts, formerly held at the Piano Study Center during the seasons between regular spring-and-fall concerts, are currently discontinued, due to the addition of two more grand pianos to the collection since summer, 2022. The present twenty-nine pianos in the building do not allow adequate floor space to seat even an audience of twenty-five or thirty people, as we could do in the past.

All donations to our 501(c)(3) organization, Historical Piano Concerts, Inc., are fully tax-deductible, and will be acknowledged in writing for your tax records. Donations of any size are most welcome. We can accept cash or personal checks, but are not equipped to process credit or debit card payments.

Our in-person concerts are held at the Ashburnham Community Church on Sunday afternoons at 3:00 pm. unless otherwise stated. Please note that the pending sale of the church building to the New Dawn Arts Center will not adversely affect the piano concerts, which will be a strong component of the Arts Center's activities.
