The Irving S. Gilmore
International Keyboard Festival



In the nearly two decades since its inception, The Gilmore has earned international recognition in the music world. Its mission is to promote and develop world-class keyboard musical experiences that inspire both artists and audiences. Every two years, The Gilmore presents two weeks of astonishing piano performances — a festival that celebrates the joy and power of music in concerts, lectures, master classes and panel discussions across West Michigan.


Encore Publishing Group, in cooperation with the Gilmore Festival staff, has produced the Souvenir Festival Book for 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008. The publications reached nearly 40,000 patrons each time, providing them with biographical information on the artists, background on the music, and thoughtful, related articles.
