We have received an unprecedented high number of applications, and this makes us very happy. It also means that many outstanding young pianists will not be able to continue in the competition, and this is unfortunate. Our rules stipulate that only sixty (60) can be admitted to the Disklavier/Video Recordings; but the quality of the applicants was so high that our Artistic Director has decided to increase the number to sixty-eight (68). To view the results click here.

We are very sad to learn about the passing of Ruth Laredo, the distinquished American pianist and a International Piano-e-Competition 2004 Judge. We are fortunate to have had an opportunity to work with her, albeit for a short time. Her contribution to the competition was significant, and she will be missed.
