To whom it may concern,

We would kindly like to remind you that applications for the 13th edition of the ClaviCologne International Piano Festival, which will take place from the 4th–8th of August 2026 at the Conservatory of Music “Luisa D’Annunzio” in Pescara, Italy, are currently open.

Interest in this year’s festival has been exceptionally strong, and places for participants are limited and beginning to fill quickly. We therefore encourage those wishing to take part to submit their applications as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

As in previous editions, the festival will bring together talented young pianists from around the world to the picturesque surroundings of Italy’s Adriatic coast for an intensive programme of high-level piano masterclasses led by an outstanding international faculty, including Michel Beroff, Milana Chernyavska, Pietro De Maria, Pavel Gililov, Armine Grigoryan, Grigory Gruzman, Hisako Kawamura, Giuliano Mazzoccante, Hans-Peter Stenzl, Volker Stenzl, and Stefan Vladar.

The unique atmosphere provided by ClaviCologne is one that should not be missed by any young pianist, and we highly recommend securing your place soon. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, or visit the official website.
