The triennial competition is open to professional pianists of all nationalities born between 1995 and 2009. Its goal is to promote young, talented pianists among the world’s top musicians and to share outstanding classical music with the largest international audiences. The competition serves as an incentive for even more dynamic collaboration among young top-level pianists and provides them with greater exposure to a wider, more international public.
