2020 Piano Competition Finals
Welcome to our first ticketed virtual event of the year, featuring amazing pianists from all around the world.
Over the past few months, we have received hundreds of submissions from young pianists for our new virtual piano competition. Now, we are excited to present the finalists’ performances and announce the winners during a special digital presentation!
This special prerecorded event will last approximately two hours and end with an announcement of the winner in each category. The recording will be available to ticket holders to pause and play at their leisure from 6 pm EDT on September 23 to 10 pm EDT on September 27.
What is the format for this event?
This event will be a two-hour video presentation of our piano competition finalists, hosted by The Princeton Festival’s Greg Geehern. You will get to see performances by three outstanding pianists in each of our six competition categories before hearing the announcement of the winners.
The event will be streamed on YouTube, accessible only by private links. Ticket buyers will receive an email containing their link approximately 24 hours prior to the start of the stream.
Who are the pianists?
Contestants in this year’s competition range in age from 6 to 25, and hail from countries including Brazil, the U.K., Austria, China, Indonesia, Serbia, India, Colombia, Germany, Taiwan, Australia, and Bolivia, along with twenty-two different US states.
