2025 - 2026 PPC Recitals Sign-up
The Piano Performance Collective (PPC) is a Calgary-based association of piano instructors, founded by Allen Reiser in 2016. From October to May, the PPC hosts a series of monthly piano recitals featuring its students and faculty at Michael Lipnicki Fine Pianos, 6033 Centre Street S, Calgary, AB T2H 0C2.
PPC recitals feature exceptional performances, with many award-winning students and teachers showcasing their skills.
Students performing at any PPC recital must attend a Performance Masterclass at Carlo’s Studio (Virtus HQ) to ensure they are well prepared to perform their best. Performance Masterclasses are typically 60 to 75 minutes, and are limited to 10 students, each of whom receives valuable, individually tailored feedback on their performance. Students have the opportunity to perform on a top-tier, full-sized grand piano at the masterclass and the recital.
Jan - May 2026 Performance Masterclasses:
Jan 18 - 11:00 AM at Virtus HQ
Apr 12 – 11:00 AM at Virtus HQ
May 10 – 11:00 AM at Virtus HQ
