2024 IYAPC Brochure !!! NEW !!!
Thank you to everyone who attended our 2023 IYAPC competitions! As always, seeing all of you (online) and spending that time in preliminaries and Finals together brought us such joy. We want to thank all the teachers and parents for gathering detailed information, including the video links, and for making and submitting the recordings in a timely fashion allowing us to meet all the deadlines. IYAPC has been delighting the music world with diversified repertoire from the East and the West, some are first time premieres, for many years. You need to be there to hear those heartwarming performances by young pianists of all ages of all nationalities.
This coming year, we welcome you to the Competition Finals in person on June 27-30, 2024 at Catholic University of America. Please check IYAPC’s 2024 brochure and YouTube 2023 winner playlist, as well as Guideline for video YouTube recording for preliminaries. March 15, 2024 is the deadline for all registrations that are sent by teachers. IYAPC looks forward to continuing our collaborative work with you and your teachers together, advancing this special event towards future.
-- Li-Ly Chang and IYAPC committee 2023-2024
For Preliminaries 2024 only - Guideline for video YouTube recording:
Wear recital attire including shoes. Make sure there are no other noises during the recording. Position your recording device so the entire performer will be visible, including feet and the pedals. No need to send music scores. Use general names for YouTube. No personal information, performers’ names, people comments, awards listing and prizes on the video. Videos should only include music, composer and details of the pieces with opus, keys, numbers, and movements 🎶. And sent to the teachers in due time. Please check with your teachers about video dates.
