Keys & Couture: 2025 Music Fashion Piano Party Recap
Presented by the students of Con Brio Piano Studio
Saturday, May 10, 2025 · Gig Harbor, Washington
If there was ever an event that radiated personality, sparkle, and joy — this was the one.
On May 10th, we transformed the performance space into a runway-meets-recital hall for our Keys & Couture Music Fashion Piano Party, where performance was only half the show — the style, creativity, and bold self-expression made the day unforgettable.
Students arrived dressed in outfits that oozed music, color, and confidence. And the music? Every piano player showcased with heart, joy, and artistry, proving that confidence shines best when music meets self-expression.
What is a Piano Party?
Piano Parties at Con Brio Piano Studio are joyful showcase celebrations honoring the dedication and growth of our students as they take the stage for their early recital experiences. For many of these students, Keys and Couture marked their very first performance!

A Day of Music, Style & Joy
The Keys & Couture Piano Party reminded us that music is not only technical — it is playful, personal, artistic, and wonderfully fun.
Our students didn’t just play pieces — they told stories, took risks, expressed themselves, and owned the stage.
