School of Music Annual Pre-Collegiate Piano Competition

Saturday, April 4, 2009

The West Chester University Annual Piano competition, now in its 21st year, strives to provide students ages 9 – 18 with performing opportunities, and raise the standard of excellence of young pianists. This is a national competition with no geographic restrictions.

There will be two rounds of auditions. The first round will be by submission of DVD/VHS, CD or tape recording of one of the two chosen competition pieces, sent with the application, and postmarked by Friday, February 27, 2009. The second round of auditions to be held on Saturday, April 4, will be a live performance of the recorded piece and a second chosen piece, listed on the Application Form.

A Recital and Awards Presentation will be on Sunday, April 19, 2009 at 3:00 p.m., in the Gates Family Recital Hall, and will include performances by the first, second and third place winners in each age group, and must be attended by any chosen Honorable Mention winners. Absences in either category will result in cancellation of the award. The first place winner in the oldest age group will be granted a Dean’s Scholarship for study in the West Chester University School of Music, and will be offered a full tuition scholarship to study with world-renowned pianist Dr. Anthony diBonaventura at the Brandywine Piano Institute, July 5 – 18, held at West Chester University’s School of Music.
