PianoFête 2026 features the outstanding talents of:
Vyacheslav “Slava” Gryaznov
Daria Kiseleva
Rexa Han
Konstantin Soukhovetski
2026 PianoFête transforms Vashon Island into a high-summer celebration of the piano. Four nights, two Steinway concert grands, and four internationally acclaimed artists share the stage in thrilling combinations. Each evening features a distinct program performed by two or more of the resident pianists, from virtuosic solo showpieces to duos and piano four-hands. In VCA’s Katherine L. White Hall, the close-up “Keyboard View” makes every seat feel like a front-row experience.
Now a signature Vashon Center for the Arts event, PianoFête is curated by award-winning pianist, transcriber, and composer Vyacheslav Gryaznov, known to Vashon audiences as “Slava,” and produced by VCA as a standout highlight of the summer season. Drawing on his international career and creative vision, Slava assembles a powerhouse roster of colleagues to join him on Vashon Island for a week-long residency that celebrates both shared tradition and bold individuality in piano music. The week culminates in PianoFête’s signature Grand Finale, an expanded final-night concert with orchestra that brings the festival to a spectacular close.
