Competitors Showcase

The “Competitors Showcase” is the second phase of the Liberace Piano Competition Season. The Showcase features the Piano Competition finalists in the categories of Classical and Showmanship. During the Live Auditions on August 12, the Showmanship competitors performed on Liberace’s very own rhinestone-covered Baldwin piano.

To help celebrate the season of the Liberace Piano Competition, the Museum Store is having a fantastic special. Be the owner of your very own red, white and blue Limited Edition numbered Lee Bear. This charming collectable bear is 4th in a series of Lee Bears. Add to this a 16” Hot Pants Desk-Top Standup of Liberace himself and a Liberace Museum bookmark.

What better way to support the legacy of our very special founder than to become a member of the Liberace Foundation and Museum. By becoming a member you help continue Liberace’s generous legacy of providing scholarship to emerging artists in the creative and performing arts.

Never underestimate a man in hot pants. Liberace, the globally-renowned pianist, swings his closet door open in order to coach you on the fine art of extraordinary dressing for ordinary occasions! Need something to wear to your sister’s wedding? Packing for your next Mediterranean cruise? Shopping for a new car? Rest assured, Liberace has the perfect gold lamé number or full-length cape to suit all of your needs.

Not only can you enjoy dazzling photographs of Liberace in the most outrageous of outfits, but you can also punch these photos out to play with twelve paper dolls in hilarious poses! The perfect novelty gift, Liberace: Your Personal Fashion Consultant celebrates and salutes the new "King of Bling."

Liberace friends, fans and donors to the Liberace Foundation are invited to contribute gifts to the Liberace Foundation & Museum Adopt the Collection Fund. The Foundation was fortunate to receive a leadership grant of $20,000 from a generous private foundation earlier in 2007, which provides the seed money for this fund. This grant and gifts to the Adopt the Collection Fund will help with conservation, preservation and restoration of the collection, including pianos, costumes, cars and antiques.

Do you enjoy meeting interesting people? Would you like to help share a rich entertainment history left to the world by Liberace? Then being a Volunteer Cast Member for the Liberace Museum is for you. Our volunteer program is rewarding as well as fun.
