Each year, Peabody Conservatory (John Hopkins University) hosts a fantastic music camp for adults. Judy Manganiello and myself attended and we really enjoyed the experience. Piano At Peabody was an intensive week of Master classes, lectures, jazz improvisation, theory refreshers, and recitals. There was a recital each night, featuring each instructor and then two nights of recitals featuring all of the students. Each day was filled with lectures, theory refreshers, master classes, and jazz workshops. Twenty-four practice rooms were available to participants day and night. This was my sixth year, and I can’t wait until next year!

From GMG, Jeni Kong and Utako Tanigawa participated and both of us proceeded to Semifinal. Jeni received "Best Performance of Bach Work" and Utako received "Best Performance of a Classical Period".
