The mission of the Russian Piano Festival/Competition is to expose piano students to the wealth of Russian music heritage, to provide a high-quality performance opportunity, and to create a unique experience for the community.


The competition provides the opportunity for students (age 5 through college/adults) to perform before a judge, compete with other students, and challenge their skills for further musical growth. The entire experience is open to the public so competing students will also have a chance to perform before an audience.

The competition is open for students to apply in solo, chamber music, and concerto categories.

This competition is unique and offers first place winners opportunities to perform at Gold Medalists’ Gala concert (Mercer Island Presbyterian Church), Benaroya Nordstrom Recital Hall, King FM classical radio station, local orchestra, scholarships and benefit events.

    Inquiry: Russian Piano Competition Registration Information
    Hello,
    I am writing to inquire about the registration information for the upcoming Russian Piano Competition. I have been searching diligently for the registration form and associated details, but unfortunately, I have been unable to locate them. Could you kindly provide me with the necessary information to register for the competition? I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer in this matter.

    Thank you so much! I appreciate your help and support!

    Hi,

    Hello, thank you very much for your patience and time. My name is Chen, and I am a saxophone teacher in the Seattle area(DMA Saxophone Performance Major from UW SoM). Some of my students would like to participate in the BRASS, WIND, VOICE, MISC – 14 and older (NO concertos, up to 10 minutes) – Fee $90 category this year. Could I know how to assist my students in registering for this competition?

    Thank you for your guidance.
    Sincerely,
    Chen
