fellow pianists from around the world, there was always something exciting
to do.Thank you again for a great experience.”

The Competition provides a platform for talented high-school aged pianists to broaden
their experience, gain exposure, and compete for three cash prizes. Conducted
over the course of the week, the competition creates a collegial environment
among participants. All participants are invited to attend the concurrent
festival events.
Competition rules can be found on the competition page.
The
Festival provides all participants with an intensive, in-depth
opportunity to expand their knowledge of music history, theory and
pedagogy—as well as its vital
connection
to onstage performance as related to this year's theme: "Messiaen
and the French Tradition."
Lectures,
master classes, and recitals are given by Oberlin Conservatory faculty
members and distinguished guest artists. In addition, participants will
have the opportunity
to take lessons from Oberlin Conservatory faculty members should they
choose to do so.
