The Birmingham International Piano Competition - now in its new home at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire - remains committed to the art of the piano recital and continues to provide young pianists aged 18-28 a chance to further their career.
In a first for the competition, competitors are offered almost complete free reign over their programming. Over the course of two preliminary rounds, three outstanding pianists are chosen for the Final, in which they each will perform a 40-minute recital in the impressive surroundings of the Conservatoire's flagship Bradshaw Hall.
