Thank you for a wonderful 2026 PMTA Conference!
What an incredible and enriching three days at Seton Hill University! Thank you to everyone who came together and celebrated “Musicians’ Search for Meaning”. Our deepest gratitude goes to our featured guests KĂnh VĹ© and Brian Ganz, who left us in tears, laughter and feeling determined, motivated and deeply inspired. From KĂnh VĹ©'s stirring keynote "I Am Here! And I Will Not Stop Singing!" to Brian Ganz's breathtaking and luminous recital "An Evening of Beethoven and Chopin," we had days and evenings filled with music-making and inspiring dialogues.Thank you to all of our amazing presenters, performers, teachers, students, mentees and mentors, and attendees who made this conference so memorable. These lovely pictures reflect our wonderful time with all, including John Levey, our commissioned composer, whose music “Cranberry Canons for Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano” premiered by the outstanding Seton Hill faculty members, Ed Kuhn, Nicole Lamagna and Grace Houde. Congratulations also to our Early Career Fellowship mentees, Laurel Nolin and Raphaelita Justice; we look forward to seeing their continued growth and musical journeys.
We are grateful for this incredible PMTA community and look forward to seeing everyone at the 2027 PMTA Conference at Gettysburg College.
