A full schedule of festival events will be announced Summer 2022.
Inaugurated in 1999, the Cliburn International Amateur Piano Competition (formerly known as the International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs™) was the first event of its kind in the United States. Hailed by The Boston Globe as “a celebration of music, and the people who have to make music, no matter what,” the contest highlights the importance of music-making in everyday life and provides a forum for musicians age 35 and older who do not perform, teach, or compose piano music for their primary professional pursuit or financial benefit. The quadrennial competition brings together the best amateur pianists from around the world for seven days of performances, symposia, and social events.
