Now in its 50th year, the final round of the competition will take place in two parts on Aug. 6-7.
After starting with 16 quarterfinalists performing solo recitals and chamber music, the Cleveland International Piano Competition is down to the final four pianists.
“We wanted our audiences to experience a final round they wouldn’t find anywhere else,” said Yaron Kohlberg, president of Piano Cleveland in a press release. “This year’s final round now showcases two crucial aspects of a performer— how they engage with audiences in small settings during the Salon Round, and how they collaborate with orchestral ensembles with our Final Concerto Round.”
The CIPC, now in its 50th year, has proven to be a reliable talent spotter thanks in part to its $75,000 first prize. Past winners have included Sergei Babayan, Angela Hewitt and Antonio Pompa-Baldi, Cleveland Institute of Music’s Head of Piano.
