Welcome to the 12th “Massarosa” International Piano Competition!

We are truly delighted to be back in attendance after the pandemic. The “live” competition takes on a whole other significance than the online one. The emotion, the meeting, the confrontation, being able to ask for advice from the members of the jury are peculiarities of the presence.

Some explanations regarding the conduct of the tests.
On Tuesday 7 June, the letter will be drawn in the presence of the authorities of Massarosa. Immediately after, the execution order of the candidates will be drawn up and published on the website of the Associazione Musicale Massarosa and on fb. The calendar will also be posted on the doors of the theatre.

Wednesday 8 June: greeting by the Mayor, appeal of the candidates, and beginning of the preliminary round. We continue with the tests in the afternoon.
