Silicon Valley is the home of an exciting new Arts organization. The Kurosawa Piano Music Foundation ("KPMF") was formed (as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) in January 2008 and has kicked-off its operations in Cupertino, California.

 

The KPMF is being formedĀ focused onĀ the genre of Piano Duos and Piano Ensemble Music, which is already prevalent in Europe and Asia, but is relatively new to the audience in the United States. Mr. Atsushi "Alex" Kurosawa has formed the KPMF in order to inspire young piano artists, ages 10 to 18, to discover and explore the rich and varied repertoire of the piano duo genre, and be trained in piano duo artistry, which teaches precision teamwork and provides deeply moving experiences to impact the lives of all who participate.

 

As part of its operations, KPMF: 1) develops a network of acclaimed international piano duos and young piano duo teams, composers, teachers, parents, publishers and piano music lovers and volunteers; 2) holds piano duo concerts for the benefit of young artists and the community; 3) provides educational opportunities and exchange programs for young artists; and 4) builds a library of valuable and useful piano music ensemble ("PEM") works in the form of scores, audio, and video sources, from around the world.

 

Assembled is a strong Board of Directors with professional expertise to fulfill these missions. See Foundation section.
