Coming Up: first-ever Olga Kern International Piano Competition

The Olga Kern International Piano Competition seeks to foster excellence through competition. This November, contestants will gather in Albuquerque, NM to compete for the top prize. In addition to a cash award, the winner will be provided concert engagements throughout the US and Europe plus a professional studio recording.

“Launching a successful performing career in the 21st century is a daunting task for most young, talented, aspiring musicians,” says Olga Kern. “I have been very fortunate to achieve my dreams of becoming a concert pianist, and my hope is that the Olga Kern International Piano Competition can now assist the next generation in its efforts to achieve their aspirations and dreams. And to this end, I am thrilled to be working in tandem with the New Mexico Philharmonic on this new and exciting project.”
