Dear pianists, the World Piano Teachers Association ITALY, draws your attention to its International Piano Competition (WPTA Italy IPC), 1st Edition. As the WPTA IPC main competition, our mission is “Putting pianists where they belong – on the stage!” The auditioning process is unique as competitors can send us their recordings as web-posted links or audio-visual files.
Laureats will have access, among prizes, at exclusive masterclasses around the world, opportunities in concert seasons.
