Founded in 2021, the Keys to Artistry Bluefield Institute is held in a Southern-style bed-and-breakfast mansion—the Bluefield Inn in Bluefield, WV. Classic charm, luscious dining, stunning decor, and warm hospitality complement the international-level music making and education fostered in this invitation-only small-group experience. The faculty is headlined by Eugene and Elisabeth Pridonoff, world-renowned pianists and pedagogues and professors emeriti at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati. Other faculty and participants include University of Mount Union professor Dr. Maira Liliestedt and NYC-based musicians Ian LeRoy and Rachel Dean, along with many participants spanning different generations and interests from jazz to Classical to song improvisation. Focused on piano, with a significant vocal component, this event fosters warm musical relationships, learning across generations and styles, offering attendees masterclasses, recitals, musical forums, teaching sessions, and plenty of informal music-making opportunities. This yearly event remains a highlight of the year for those involved, many of whom return every year.
