Tyler Hayford in concert

Sunday, March 15th @ 3 p.m.
POSTPONED UNTIL A LATER DATE

Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist
The Aptos Keyboard Series proudly presents Santa Cruz pianist Tyler Hayford, one of those young epitomes of brilliance and early success. At age 10, in 2007, he received the Santa Cruz County Music Teachers Association “Barbara Call Award” for the “Most Promising Musician.” Later that year he performed at the Carmel Bach Festival. At 15, he won first place in the United States Open Music Competition. That year he was also one of only 23 pianists admitted to the Colburn Academy Piano Festival in Los Angeles; and in the same year he was the youngest of the six finalists in the 26th annual Celia Mendez Young Pianist’s Beethoven Competition.

Beyond his studies at Eastman, Tyler has received scholarships to attend the Meadowmount School of Music, the Colburn Academy Piano Festival, California Summer Music, and the Bowdoin International Music Festival. He was also the recipient from 2017-2018 of an $8,000 Nadenstedt YAG College Music Study Scholarship. Before working under the tutelage of Professor Douglas Humpherys at the Eastman School of Music, Tyler previously studied piano with Hans Boepple, and piano and organ with Vlada Volkova Moran. He served as the organist of Messiah Lutheran Church in Santa Cruz from 2013-2015, and at Penn Yan First Baptist Church from 2018-2019.

​About the Aptos Keyboard Series at St. John's
  • features International World-Class Pianists
  • co-presented by Josef Sekon, artistic director, & the Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist

Our Mission: to promote gifted young pianists and offer them the opportunity to perform in a concert setting. 
​
Our History: Artistic Director Josef Sekon, longtime music teacher at Cabrillo College,  hosted concerts in his home and other local venues for the past several years. Several St. John's parishioners actively supported this artistic venture in various ways, from hosting musicians to providing financial support, and, of course, serving as a loyal audience. So when the concert series began to outgrow a "house concert" size, St. John's was a logical place to look for a new home. To begin, a parish member has loaned the church a Steinway piano to do justice to the level of the musicianship being shared.

St. John's is delighted to partner with Josef Sekon in presenting the Aptos Keyboard Series, henceforth to be known as "The Aptos Keyboard Series at St. John's." It is our hope that we can expand the opportunity from a house concert with an audience of 35 to our larger venue as St. John's, with our wonderful acoustics.  And we hope to maintain the intimate atmosphere of a “Salon Setting” for upcoming concerts.
​
​If you love listening to world class piano music in a relaxed setting please come to this series of Sunday afternoon concerts. We are delighted to accept financial support to help promote these young guest artists in our own community.
