Executive Director
bill@portlandpiano.org

Bill Crane, Executive Director, stepped into the lead role at PPI in 2020 from his earlier position with the company as Director of Audience Engagement. A PPI subscriber for 31 years and a board member for nine years in the 1990s, Bill is himself a pianist and musicologist, educated at Florida State University and the Schola Cantorum, a private conservatory in Paris, France. Since moving to Portland in 1990, he has held several positions in fund development and executive leadership for area nonprofit organizations. He has taught piano, organ, and voice for more than 50 years, although he does not maintain an active studio currently, and continues a moderately active life as a recitalist.

“This is the job I’ve been preparing for my whole life. I have fun every day at the office! It’s delightful to get to connect people with the wonderful world of the piano.”

In his (scarce) spare time, he is a volunteer with the Trauma Intervention Program of Portland/Vancouver and an avid visual artist, working mostly in textiles.

Associate Director

Robin Power, associate director, has been with Portland Piano International since 2009, where she is the primary ticketing contact, dean of the Tholen Fellowship, and main series event coordinator. Beginning her journey with the piano at age seven, she has 25 years of studio piano teaching experience as well as a B.A. degree in The Fine Arts from Western Oregon University and a M.S. Degree in Music Teaching from Portland State University. Since 2011 she has also served as state office staff for the Oregon Music Teachers Association.

“Being employed by both PPI and OMTA is like a dream come true. I am so thrilled to be able to continue my support of music, piano performance, and piano teaching in Oregon by working in these two fine organizations.”

In her spare time, Robin likes to read, keep fit by walking and working out, and practicing the piano and dulcimer for pleasure. She has two wonderful children and two amazing grandchildren, all involved in some way with music.
