Beethoven-Competition

Dear Friends of Beethoven,

we had very busy days indeed around our original Application Deadline in the middle of October: Lots of applications and even more emails with questions were sent to us. We decided to extend the possibility to apply until October 31, 2016 - so for those still undecided, there is a last chance to compete at our next edition in 2017!

In the meantime, we'd like to inform you about our international Jury 2017. We are extremely proud and thankful to be able to welcome very renowned and respected piano experts to Vienna!

The International Beethoven Piano Competition was featured in the newest edition of the "Kunsträume" - the magazine of the mdw – University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna. See below for a link to the article.

With best wishes from Vienna,

the Team of the International Beethoven Piano Competition Vienna
