In the heart of Gig Harbor, Washington, amidst the wintry charm of the season, Con Brio Piano Studio welcomed friends, family, and music enthusiasts alike to our annual Christmas concert, held on Saturday, December 9, 2023, at the picturesque Wurlitzer Manor. It was a joyous occasion where we celebrated not only the magic of the holidays but also the remarkable progress of our dedicated students.
As the clock struck 3:00 PM, the cozy halls of Wurlitzer Manor resonated with the familiar melodies of holiday favorites.
From timeless carols to spirited jazzy renditions and whimsical duets and trios, our students showcased a delightful array of musical talents, each performance brimming with the warmth and spirit of the season.
For our students, "Sounds of the Season" was more than a recital—it was a celebration of community and unity. As each pianist shared their love of music with the audience, they also demonstrated the power of music to bring people together.

It was a joy to triumph in these pianist’s growth, dedication, and passion for music. With each note played, they demonstrated not only their technical proficiency but also their passionate connection to the music and the piano.
As the final notes echoed through the halls of Wurlitzer Manor, we were filled with gratitude for the opportunity to come together and celebrate the season through music.
We would like to thank our parents, family members, and friends for supporting fine arts and music education in our community, and for their loving encouragement. Without their help, our students would not be able to achieve their full potential.
