This week-long celebration of the piano and its music will begin Saturday evening (July 17) with the return of the popular "Piano X Four or More" featuring groups of four or five local pianists performing selections written for four or five pianos.
French juror Philippe Bianconi will present a solo recital on Sunday afternoon (July 18) featuring works of Beethoven, Schumann, and Chopin.
The competition itself begins with Semifinal Round I (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, July 19-21) featuring four competitors playing for 35 minutes each evening. All twelve pianists will be heard again in Semifinal Round II (Thursday and Friday evenings, July22-23) in which six pianists perform for 20 minutes each evening. Following the conclusion of Semifinal Found II, the jury will determine the three finalists that will perform in the Final Round on Sunday afternoon (July 25). The three finalists will each perform for 50 minutes. The jury's decision will be announced Sunday afternoon following the last of the three finalists' performance.
Mornings and afternoons (Monday-Saturday) are filled with a series of lectures and masterclasses that are open to the public at no charge. Students of the New Orleans Piano Institute can be heard performing in these masterclasses and at a special "Showcase Recital" on Saturday afternoon (July 24).
