Colorado State University Pueblo’s Hoag Hall will host its 14th annual Pueblo Keyboard Arts Festival from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2.
The festival will combine quality musical programs with educational opportunities for young and college-age pianists. All events are free for audience members to attend.
The 2024 festival will kick off Halloween night at 7 p.m. with the US premier of “Voices at the End,” a six-piano performance written by New Zealand composer John Psathas. The live piano performances will be in sync with digital audio and visual elements surrounding the theme of society’s relationship with the environment and addressing issues of our planet’s future.
This year, the beginning of the opening concert will be performed by alumni of the university for a fun way to include old musical friends. The rest of the piece will be performed by guest artists, some of whom are coming from Texas, Idaho, and Illinois.
“It is called ‘Voices at the End’ because each one of the movements ends with a voice, either poetry or important speech, that frames out the work. I think it’s very impactful. We are very proud to present that,” said Zahari Metchkov.
