Music Photography - 2026 Gilmore Piano Festival

Every Gilmore Festival leaves me with more photographs than I know what to do with, and 2026 was no exception. Over the course of eleven days, I had the privilege of documenting world-class artists, dedicated students, enthusiastic audiences, and countless moments that make the festival so special.

These are fifty of my favorite images from this year's festival. They're not necessarily the most important photographs, or even the ones that received the most attention—just the images that continue to stand out when I look back on the experience. I hope they offer a glimpse into what made this year's festival so memorable.

And if you want to see more, The Gilmore has also published an extensive festival photography gallery featuring many photographs from performances, events, and behind-the-scenes moments throughout the 2026 Festival:
