Under the proud custodianship of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, part of Birmingham City University, and Artistic Director and Head of the Department of Keyboard Studies, Professor John Thwaites, the Birmingham International Piano Competition, founded in 1979, provides a platform for young pianists aged from 18 to 28 to further their career and perform in a world-class venue.
 
Initial rounds take place during June with the Second Round and Final open to the public at the Bradshaw Hall, with its state-of-the art performance facilities including the Conservatoire’s exceptional fleet of concert grand pianos.
 
Over the course of preliminary rounds, four outstanding pianists will be chosen for the Final, to be held on 3 July, in which they will each perform a forty-minute recital in front of a public audience. The international jury is to be drawn from across the music industry and will include Katya Apekisheva, Philip Fisher and Carole Presland.
 
For those wishing to listen in, the Competition offers an opportunity to witness the brightest keyboard stars of the future in works by composers from classical to contemporary.
