Festive Greetings & a Happy New Year

By Informance, 2025-12-18 Posted in: Blog

This is our last post before we take a short break over the Festive Season. Therefore we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over this last year and to wish you all very happy and peaceful holidays!

As usual, it’s been a busy year for us and we’ve had the privilege of working with so many incredible contributors on a variety of projects. It’s also been wonderful to meet so many of you and to learn more about your piano journeys during our various events.

We’ll be back in the New Year and have lots in store which we are very much looking forward to sharing with you. In the meantime, we’ll leave you with a videos with some highlights from a selection of our online events from this year:

Our very best wishes for a happy, peaceful holiday season and a joyous, piano-infused 2026!
