Serving again as NOPI Directors are Alan Chow, Northwestern University; Igor Resnianski, Westchester University; and Joni Jensen, Tulane University. Additional NOPI faculty members include Constance Carroll, LSU; Kevin Chance, University of Alabama; Frank Heneghan, Ireland; and Shearon Horton, Austin. NOPI invites talented local, national and international college and high school students to New Orleans for a week of intensive study and performances including individual lessons and master classes with the distinguished NOPI faculty, competition opportunities, and a solo appearance on the Showcase Recital. All of this is within the inspirational context of the biennial New Orleans International Piano Competition and the annual Keyboard Festival. In addition, every year Hall Piano and the Steinway Society of New Orleans in collaboration with the New Orleans Piano Institute presents the NOPI Concerto Competition of which the winner receives a cash prize as well as the opportunity to perform with the New Orleans Civic Symphony.
