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.

With Ceferina Penny (soprano), Alexandria Moon (mezzo soprano), Guy Elliot (tenor), Jonathan Eyers (baritone) & Roger Vignoles (piano)

In a programme specially devised to celebrate the song programme which has been a highlight of the 2023/24 season at Conway Hall, Roger Vignoles and Artistic Director Simon Callaghan come together with a quartet of talented young singers led by Ferrier award-winning soprano Jessica Cale. Their programme showcases songs and piano duets by Brahms, Mendelssohn, Robert and Clara Schumann, and culminates in a performance of Brahms’s Liebeslieder-Walzer, a collection of love songs in Ländler style for four voices and piano duet, a work which may have been inspired by his love for Clara Schumann.
