What we’re about
AmateurPianists is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and the largest meetup group for pianists in the US. It was founded in 2011 by Glenn Kramer to provide performance opportunities for amateur pianists of all professions and backgrounds. Since its formation, membership has grown to include both pianists and non-pianists, people who love piano music or perhaps would be interested in attending their first ever piano performance. Our performances are FREE to the audience and are held at various venues—from recital halls and libraries, to churches and private homes. AmateurPianists also provides educational opportunities, such as masterclasses and lectures on performance practice, the history of classical music, and much more, including the San Diego International Piano Competition and Festival for Outstanding Amateurs.
We believe that piano music should be enjoyable and accessible to everyone, and AmateurPianists serves to facilitate this vision by connecting pianists with audiences.
Membership is free, so join us!
Board of Directors: Chair - Lulu Hsu, Yang Shen, Glenn Kramer, Songqing Wen, Connie Almond, Keith Weibrecht, Sonya Schumann

See all- Anything Goes RecitalGreene Music, San Diego, CA
Are you ready to add a playful twist to your piano repertoire? We're thrilled to invite you to our "Anything Goes Piano Recital", where we celebrate the myriad styles that make the world of piano music so dynamic and rich!
This unique event isn't your typical piano recital. With 'Anything Goes', we aim to foster a platform that acknowledges and appreciates all genres, from the elegance of classics, the twang of country, the soulful chords of blues, and the cool vibes of jazz, to the fast, catchy hooks of pop and rock. And let's not forget the fantastic universe of film and videogame scores, contemporary piano pieces, and so much more! You can even do a sing-along with your friends if you want!
Pianists: please register here if you want to play in the recital.
Audience: To attend in person, please RSVP "yes". We truly appreciate your RSVP as that notifies us as to how many people to expect.
