The Key Change series features UI distinguished piano faculty and their students, as well as guest artists from across Iowa. This year's series features music from French Impressionists.

Each concert in the 6-concert series will be played twice: Once in the Concert Hall of the UI School of Music's Voxman Building in Iowa City, and once at the Opus Cafe in Cedar Rapids. The series is presented in partnership with Orchestra Iowa.
