Welcome to the VIII International Chopin Piano Competition in Vienna!

Over the years, our competition has established itself as one of Vienna’s most highly regarded and popular piano competitions. Its stage has welcomed outstanding young pianists, many of whom have since gone on to perform in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls.

We warmly invite talented pianists from around the world to apply and become part of this inspiring musical tradition. The competition offers not only the opportunity to present your artistry to an international jury and audience, but also a meaningful platform to advance your career, build valuable artistic connections, meet fellow musicians in Vienna, and perform in distinguished concert venues.

Join us in Vienna and let the music of Fryderyk Chopin become the beginning of an exciting new chapter in your artistic journey.
