Miami International Piano Festival

Established in 1998, the Miami International Piano Festival is the offspring of Patrons of Exceptional Artists. It is dedicated to the discovery, promotion, nurture, and support of extraordinary artists and the long term goal of ensuring continuity with the great traditions of the past.

Recognized as one of the most exciting recital series in the world today, the Festival presents artists, both emerging and established, who have distinct voices, who challenge convention by demonstrating that there are important things still to be said in both mainstream and rare repertoire, and who clearly deserve extensive careers.

Now reaching more than two decades, the Festival has earned a reputation for high musical standards and has become a potent force in the musical world. Each year, the Artistic Advisory Committee made up of pianists, music critics and scholars on two continents seek to identify extraordinary talents capable of impacting listeners and of leading us into the next "Golden Age" of piano playing. This not a matter of competition but rather of selection based upon criteria of notable excellence.

The Festival is making an indelible mark in the musical world. Since 1998, it has discovered and presented dozens of innovative talents and assisted their introduction to recording companies, concert managements, and promoters in this country and abroad. As complements to the annual Festivals, lectures, panel discussions, and master classes by seasoned professionals in music and related have stimulated our performers and audiences.

Our new virtual platform is a stage for teaching and performing. It is a podium for lectures and discussions. It is a showcase to exhibit skill, talent, and creativity. It is a canvas where our artists have the freedom to design the fruits of their imagination, It is a pageant for music lovers worldwide. The Miami International Piano Festival inaugurated its recital series in Berlin (Germany) on September 22, 2022.
