Lynn Celestin Pianists' Foundation

The Lynn Celestin Pianists' Foundation is a non-profit company based in New Orleans, LA that is dedicated to providing annual piano performance opportunities for young pianists in the state of Louisiana .

Each year, the Lynn Celestin Pianists' Foundation hosts The Young Pianists Competition, an event that is open to young pianists in Louisiana ages 12-22.  Through this competition, we award over $1,500 of scholarship prizes to our First, Second, and Third Prize winners in each age category and feature our prize winners in a Winners Recital following the competition.

Additionally, we have worked very hard this year to expand our educational programming to ensure that all students who participate in our annual Young Pianists Competition form lasting bonds and enjoy memorable experiences that will inspire them to continue their musical education in high school, college, and beyond.

Your GiveNOLA donation directly supports:

• 🎹 Scholarships for young pianists
• 🎼 Masterclasses with guest artists
• 🤝 Mentorship opportunities for students

Each of these programs helps foster confidence, artistry, and community among the next generation of musicians. With your continued support, we hope to grow our initiatives even further.

Even the smallest amount brings us one step further to our fundraising goals that will support future programming in our 2026-2027 operational period.  Thank you for being part of our community and for investing in these young artists!
