LONGMEADOW — The Longmeadow Educational Excellence Foundation will be hosting “Dueling Pianos” on Feb. 28 at Twin Hills Country Club. The event features two pianists who take audience requests on songs for an interactive, high-energy show with cocktails, dancing and community spirit.

The event runs from 6-10 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m., and the flyer states the dress code is “cocktail attire.”

LEEF is both a fundraising organization and a grant-making organization, composed of volunteers from the community who share a common passion for public school education.

The organization said in a press release for the event that their mission is to “create and maintain a fund for the benefit of Longmeadow Public School students.” The event is being held in support of “classroom innovation, new technology and creative learning experiences that benefit every Longmeadow student.”

“Dueling Pianos” is a night for parents to get out, kick their dancing shoes off and have some fun, according to LEEF Board Member Seth Stutman. He said there is a gala every year and Family Fun Fest for the past two years, but notes came back that said parents wanted a fun night.

“It’s a night where you leave the kids at home,” Stutman said. “I’ve never been to an event like this, to be honest, but it’s a night of fun. Get a babysitter and enjoy yourself.”

He said the event serves two purposes, to have a fund and a fundraiser. The event will give parents a night out all while raising money for LEEF, funding grants to further educational programming for students in Longmeadow Public Schools. In 2025, more than 30 grants were awarded by LEEF, totaling more than $90,000.

In the press release, Stutman said that “Dueling Pianos” might be the most entertaining evening of fun in Longmeadow in 2026 and that funds raised will directly help LPS teachers create experiences where the curriculum will jump off the page.

Tickets for “Dueling Pianos” can be purchased on LEEF’s website.
