And then it was time again to say farewell, and — over cake and champagne — plan for next year’s festival. With an atmosphere somewhere between high art and summer camp reunion, and its very special mix of fresh talent and returning artists, the festival offers music making at its very best. Add to that the joy of celebrating old friendships, and the opportunities for making new friends, and you have The Golandsky Institute’s Summer Symposium and International Piano Festival in Princeton/New Jersey in a nutshell.
I am already looking forward to the 2011 festival next July.

Wonderful article, Ilona. Sorry I've only now been able to read it. Sounds like a wonderful time. I have some Naxos events in New York that you'll most certainly want to attend.
