If you like listening to the vibrancy of live piano music, the Piano Club of Sun City’s monthly music programs offer something for everyone. The Piano Club meets at 9:30 am on the third Friday of the month, all year long in the Sundial Auditorium, 103rd Avenue and Boswell Boulevard. Those members and guests who wish to perform entertain the crowd. Performances are limited to five minutes, to be fair to others. We welcome all levels of pianists and all styles of music. Performers are welcome to choose a song or songs that fit the monthly theme, or to play whatever suits them. You don’t have to play the piano to enjoy the programs or to be a member; just enjoy the music! Come early to mingle with other piano-loving Sun Citians.
The Piano Club studio at Sundial is a spacious room with two grand pianos, a console piano, and classroom keyboards. It is the perfect place for club members to practice duets or practice on a grand piano for the first time. Reserve time in the studio through our club contact or president. The Sundial studio also has a donated music library which is free for club members to take home. In addition, there are years of music magazines that can be checked out.

The club also hosts various piano-related functions in our studio. Occasional music-themed lectures instruct members. Our Stage Fright group aims to help pianists of all skill levels work toward performing on a big stage.
The Piano Club hosts an annual evening concert called An Evening to Remember. Usually held in February, the best of the best play a variety of music.
