As part of the annual Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival (an annual get-together of select young pianists from prestigious music schools across the globe that includes a three-week course at the University of South Florida’s Tampa campus), four wunderkinds will perform at this free concert in New Tampa, presumably on the venue’s brand-new grand piano.

The musicians come from diverse backgrounds—China, Canada, California, and Washington state—and have been involved with competitions, philanthropic causes, and, according to a press release, “sharing the potential of music to overcome boundaries across cultures.”
