The Racine Symphony Orchestra welcomes Steven Ayers, our 2025 Artist in Residence.

Steven Ayers earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in piano from Indiana University Bloomington, where he was awarded a Performer’s Certificate. He also holds a Master’s degree in accounting and has worked for many years as a CPA in tax compliance. He has taught piano privately for many years and enjoys accompanying musicians of all ages and levels. He has performed several concerti with the Milwaukee Summer Philharmonia and given numerous solo recitals, including a complete Beethoven sonata cycle, and is nearing the completion of both books of the Well-Tempered Clavier. He is also the proud father of two professional musicians.

Mr. Ayers will be conducting two masterclasses for collaborative piano. On April 22, he will be at UW Parkside, Bedford Hall from 2-5 pm. And on April 24, he will be at Carthage from 12:30-2.
