One of the World’s Premier International Classical Piano Competitions, the World Pianist Invitational will provide the world with an annual opportunity to come together and celebrate the international communities’ enduring love for classical piano through the promise of our pianist musicians.
The 2013 World Pianist Invitational will be hosted at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Terrace Theatre, in Washington DC, USA, June 15, 2013. Competition finalists will perform at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., offering WPI performers prestige and panache not often found in other competitions. WPI Finalists - or Phenom Laureates as we will call them - will be selected by a panel of five international judges. The WPI Foundation guarantees more than $10,000 in cash scholarships to be shared among the finalists who perform at the Kennedy Center. The WPI Committee will present personalized World Pianist Invitational certificates to all WPI applicant/competitors. Additionally, all Phenom Laureates will receive personalized WPI certificates designating them as a Performance Finalist in the Kennedy Center World Pianist Invitational competition. Kennedy Center World Pianist Invitational Certificates will be coveted “credentials” for those young musicians seeking acceptance to musical schools, university programs or conservatories. Some institutions issue educational credits for participation in international music competitions of the stature of WPI.
