We’re thrilled to announce that Kansas State University student Connor Jones has been accepted to the 2026 Collaborative Piano Institute at the University of Michigan this June! Connor is also the recipient of a scholarship from CPI, recognizing his exceptional talent as a collaborative pianist.
CPI is a highly selective and prestigious summer program that brings together emerging pianists to study with a world-class faculty through intensive coachings, masterclasses, and performances. Alumni have gone on to top graduate programs such as the Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music, as well as professional positions at leading opera companies and arts organizations.
Connor’s acceptance and scholarship reflect his artistry and dedication, and we’re proud to see him representing K-State at such a distinguished institute!
