THE ELEVENTH NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION^®

JUNE 16-21, 2024    AGES 16-22

The Stecher and Horowitz Foundation presents The Eleventh New York International Piano Competition in New York City, a biennial event open to pianists of all nationalities. Twenty-two young pianists, ages 16-22, from around the world, will gather for a week-long event, June 16-21, 2024.

Each young artist will compete for cash prizes and concert appearances. There is no elimination of participants during the competition’s four rounds. Each contestant will be judged by a jury of the most distinguished members of the international music community. In addition to the prizes awarded to the winners, the Foundation presents a cash award to each of the remaining contestants.

Rather than the traditional competition model where the focus is on winning, The New York International Piano Competition provides an opportunity for contestants to perform, network, exchange information and cultivate a support system that will carry them through their professional years.

The competition is dedicated to providing artistic development, educational enhancement, seminars, master classes and performance opportunities. The New York International Piano Competition will be held at The Manhattan School of Music. Steinway is the official piano of The New York International Piano Competition.
