Dear Pianists,

We are delighted to announce that applications for the 13th edition of the ClaviMasters International Piano Competition are now open!

Taking place from the 10th to the 12th of August 2026 in the picturesque Italian city of Chieti, this latest edition of ClaviMasters is looking to discover and promote the next generation of outstanding pianists from around the world. 

Offering a prize fund of €9,000, the competition will be spread across two rounds, with each of the three top-ranked contestants taking home a share of the prize money. Both phases will be judged by a 5-member jury board of internationally-renowned pianists and pedagogues, gathered together from across the globe just for this occasion.

More than a competition, ClaviMasters represents an opportunity to engage with the international musical community, gain invaluable performance experience, and take a significant step forward in your artistic journey.

The registration period will close on the 6th of July 2026, so act quickly and visit the official website at clavimasters.com to secure your place now!
