On Tuesday, Keys to the Future begins three nights of recent solo piano music, with nine of the city's best musicians playing works by contemporary masters like John Adams and William Bolcom, along with younger talents like Ryan Brown and Bruce Stark. Assembled and curated by Joseph Rubenstein, the programs are always an astutely chosen stylistic mix, and presented in the intimate Greenwich House concert hall that seats just 80 people.

That piano is so beautiful, I wounder what it sounds like.

I am wondering the same thing. (And love the two stools at left, for piano lovers to perch while the pianist works.)

For a split second, the title of this post made me wonder if you had discovered tonality! Perish the thought!
I kid... I kid...

But is that a real piano? It looks like a digital keyboard. Either way, very beautiful.

I *think* it's a real piano. Notice the silver bar stools at left, that give some sense of scale and size. But true: you can't really tell whether there are strings and hammers inside, although pedals appear to be visible.
