The Oracle Piano Society had its inaugural home performance on Dec. 13, 2025, at the home of Ben and Nancy Eisenstein. Prize winning group Duo Prism, consisting of world-renowned musicians Rieko Aizawa on piano and Jesse Mill on violin, performed. Champagne and hors d’oeuvres were served.

The objective was to raise awareness of the Oracle Piano Society and the high caliber of performances held at the Oracle Center for the Arts, 700 E. Kingston Street in Oracle, just 15 minutes away and 11 miles from SaddleBrooke Ranch!

Artistic Director Dr. Stephen Cook has worked tirelessly to bring to Oracle innovative music education and performance programs that stand apart nationally. The Conservatory offers tuition-free instruction to local youth year round, while the Signature Series and Chamber Music Festival bring world-class artists directly to the Oracle community, including SaddleBrooke Ranch (SBR). Students not only receive training from these guest musicians but also perform alongside peers and faculty from across the country, an opportunity once unimaginable here.

These efforts meet a real need for cultural development and music education but they depend on community support. Your participation keeps the arts alive in Oracle and that is an ideal worthy of support!

Upcoming concerts include Oracle Piano Quartet on Sunday, Feb. 22, at 3 p.m. and Sylvan Trio on Sunday, March 22, at 3 p.m. For further information, go to oraclepianosociety.org.
