Executive Directors Melvin Stecher and Norman Horowitz.

The joy of giving and sharing are among the many rewards affiliated with The New York International Piano Competition. For prize-winners and finalists, performing on the roster of The Young Artists Series gives participants the opportunity to develop performance skills in a non-threatening way, where enthusiasm and love of music is nourished. The fact remains, talented pianists need practical exposure to perfect their skills on stage. The concert stage remains the most valuable teacher for a young artist.
