Several years ago a few patrons of young artistic talent established the annual Golden Key Music Festival.* Their mission was to give young musicians the opportunity to display their talents on some of the most prestigious concert stages in the United States; to help them to unlock the door into the magic world - a realm where almost everyone who steps on the stage is gratified with an incomparable feeling of self-affirmation.

In 2009 we will invite our winners to perform at Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall at New York City; Steinway Hall in New York City; Ethic Society Recital Hall in Philadelphia; Jacob's Music Hall at Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

We hope to be a part of your pedagogical plans and wish your students a successfull and satisfying school year. Welcome.

* Here is the source of the allegory: An old Italian fairy-tale tells of a Golden Key used by young poets, musicians and actors to open a hidden door. A door that reveals a magical world of achievement and contentment; a world full of happiness and success .
