Cleveland International Piano Competition for Young Artists

The CIPC for Young Artists is known as one of the top international piano competitions for emerging pianists ages 11-18. Across two divisions of Junior (11-14) and Senior (15-18), contestants will compete for almost $30,000 in prizes and perform their Final Round performances with The Canton Symphony.

First Round Performances will be recorded in six locations worldwide and Finalists will be invited to Cleveland for a Chamber Music and Concerto Round.

This year, Finalists will have the unique opportunity to be mentored by professional chamber musicians from The Cleveland Orchestra and conductor Steven Byess before their Final Round performances.
