The Alexander and Buono Festival of Music has for three years now given me experiences that have fed my soul as an artist. I am grateful for the caliber of talent, professionalism, learning, and exposure it provides, and I am hoping to be able to attend for years to come.

The Alexander and Buono Festival was a great experience for me to have time to be able to focus upon music and playing the piano, and I learned so much from the other musicians who were there. It was one of the best times of my life!

It was so lovely meeting many new and old friends. I love the social aspects of the Alexander and Buono Festival as much as the music.

I returned from the Alexander and Buono Festival of Music as a changed musician. I learned from every faculty member valuable lessons that I will carry with me with every performance that I give, ranging from instruction on how to improve my technique to overcoming nerves associated with performing. The world-class faculty and a bevy of performance opportunities made this an extraordinary experience that was fun, enriching, and life-changing.
—Ria Carlo, Piano, USA

I had a great time and really enjoyed the master classes. I met new friends who all have the same interest for music/piano. We received inspiration from one another and exchanged our experiences--we had such fun together! It was truly a fantastic experience for me.
—John Zhang, Piano, Sweden

The Festival is not only a great opportunity to learn and develop one's musicality but also a place to create new and wonderful experiences. It is always a joy to return as it not only improves my piano performance but also enriches my life.
—George Ko, Piano, USA/China

Making such wonderful new friends and sharing our love for music made this one of the happiest times of my life. Mr. Alexander and Mr. Buono work so hard and accomplish so much for so many people. They give the opportunity for many musicians to grow and to make their dreams come true. It means so much to all of us.
