"Students will be playing classical pieces based on or inspired by dances from Jamaica, Argentina, Peru, South Africa and Europe," McKay explained.

Selections will include melodies by some of history's most beloved composers, including Frederic Chopin from Poland, Johann Sebastian Bach from Germany and Scott Joplin from the United States, as well as music by contemporary composers.

Piano students of all ages and all experience levels from beginners to advanced will perform.
