Deadline to apply: 31st October 2024
The International WroClavile Piano Competition is a unique cultural event on the national and European scale. There is no other place in Poland, where amateur pianists – all those who are not students or graduates from professional schools of music in the piano courses and music universities, could confront their skills at the national and international level.
The participants of the WroClavile Competition are amateurs in the strict sense of the term: they are people who have not completed long-term, formalized piano studies, and have never worked as professional pianists. The only reason for them to play the piano is passion for the instrument and classical music in general. These pianists, despite not having studied at musical conservatories, achieve a high level of mastery, far beyond the repertoire of typical primary or secondary music centers.
The WroClavile Competition does not introduce any age restrictions – the participants can be teenagers, as well as non-musician adults.
