In just under two weeks I’ll be attending and presenting at the Dream Big conference at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Over on the Collaborative Piano Blog I had a chance to ask Laura Loewen and Judy Kehler Siebert a few questions about the festival and its aspirations. This quote in particular is getting me very excited for what will be going on in Winnipeg this February 20-22:

This is the first Canadian collaborative piano conference that we know of, and we feel a responsibility to really honour the art form and set a template for future events. Collaborative pianists so often meet on the sidelines of other conferences or events, and it’s important for us to meet to talk about art and its place in society from our point of view. We believe that we will discover commonalities through our discussions, but we hope we also discover differences that will challenge and expand our ideas of what we can become.
