Description
We warmly invite you to participate in our piano competition, which takes place on March 21st 2020. The competition offers performance opportunities for all ages and abilities as part of the 2020 Master Music Festival, which takes place at the Clarendon Muse in Watford (WD18 7JA). Each participant will receive invaluable feedback from our adjudication panel, which so far includes Steinway Artist Ji Liu and composer Andrew Harrod. If participants wish to have the performance experience without the pressure of competing, they can choose to enter non-competitively. Performers also have the option to have their performance professionally video recorded. Medals, certificates and a range of prizes will be awarded to participants who achieve 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. The winner of each age group in the advanced category wins the additional prize of an invitation to London’s Steinway Halls for a master class with a Steinway Artist. Places are limited, so we recommend applying in good time to avoid disappointment.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email us at info@mastermusicpublications.com
The Competition will be held on the 21st of March 2020
