The forum with a history of a quarter of a century returns after 7 years of hiatus. The International Piano Competition brings together virtuosos on the stage of the Academy of Music. It is here that registration and draw of participants takes place. The organizers received about fifty applications from 7 countries. The Conservatory will also host the 1st and 2nd selection rounds. The opening concert will be given in the Big Hall of the Belarusian State Philharmonic in the evening. The grand final or the third round will also take place here – this is a performance of a concert for piano and orchestra. The prize fund of the international piano competition will amount to about 30 thousand euros.
