Welcome to 2026 Satori Summer Musical Festival!
We will once again be hosting the event at Azusa Pacific University.
Important Changes
- The Open Category time limit has been increased from 6 minutes to 7 minutes
- Due to the large number of Piano Qualified category entries last year, for this year we will have a number of Piano Qualified students perform on Saturday, July 18th (first day of Strings). We will determine which age and subcategory will perform on July 18th once the Satori committee has full knowledge of this year’s turnout.
Please keep this scheduling change in mind when registering into Piano Qualified. Any rescheduling requests should be submitted to satoristrings@live.com in the week following the initial schedule release.
