The 2nd Australian International Chopin Piano Competition
The Australian National University School of Music is proud to present Australia’s newest major biennial international piano competition. The competition aims to encourage young performers to follow the 19th century tradition of romantic playing, which reflects the lyrical and poetic interpretive aesthetics of Chopin’s own time. As part of the competition, competitors will experience playing on an 1847 Pleyel grand piano. A musical event that highlights individual approach to music making.
Total prize money: AUS$50,000. First Prize AUS$20,000, plus performance opportunities in Australia and Europe.
