Pianist Ingrid Keller is a recitalist, collaborative pianist, educator, and Founding Artistic Director of The Belvedere Series, a chamber music series in Richmond, VA.

She has appeared in prominent venues across the U.S., including the Kennedy Center, Boston’s Symphony Hall, Jordan Hall, the Banff Centre, and Tanglewood, as well as internationally.
