We invite you to attend the Seventh New York International Piano Competition in New York City, presented under the auspices of The Stecher and Horowitz Foundation.
From June 23-27, twenty-two young pianists, representing some of the finest teachers and conservatories in the world, will compete for $50,000 in cash prizes, awards and concert appearances. Join us daily at the Manhattan School of Music to hear the Preliminary, Semi-Final, Final and Ensemble Rounds. Admission is free and open to the public; a complete schedule can be found here.
Selected through a rigorous screening process, this year’s contestants hail from the United Kingdom, China, Taiwan, Finland, the Republic of Georgia, South Korea and the United States. Each contestant is judged by a jury of distinguished members of the international music community. A first in the world of competitions, there is no elimination of participants during the NYIPC’s four rounds. In addition to prizes awarded to the winners, the Foundation presents a $1,000 cash award to each of the remaining contestants. The NYIPC also provides an opportunity for contestants to perform, network, exchange information and cultivate a suport system that will carry them through their professional years. Winners and finalists are featured on our Young Artists Series, a signature professional development progam that provides performance opportunities in community-based venues.
