18th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival: Student Piano Recital

The Piano Festival concludes with the Student Piano Recital, showcasing the area’s best young pianists, performing on Ogunquit Performing Arts Committee’s world class Steinway piano before a live audience in a beautiful setting.
 
The festival, and particularly this popular event, honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham (“Betty”), and is inspired by her own life as a piano student, performer and teacher. As a student, she first received a music degree from Smith College and continued her studies with renowned concert pianists and faculty members from Dunbarton College in Washington, D.C. and Julliard School of Music, in New York City.
 
The founder and 1^st chair of Ogunquit Performing Arts (OPA), Betty saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Model C Grand Piano, which still remains its greatest treasure.
