The International School of Monaco is set to host its first-ever ISM Youth Piano Competition on Saturday 21st June, opening the doors of its auditorium to a new generation of musical talent from Monaco and the surrounding region.
Organised by the school’s Performing Arts Department in collaboration with the ISM Parent Teacher Association, the competition aims to create a premier platform for young pianists aged four to 18. It reflects Monaco’s cultural dedication to creativity and excellence, while offering participants a nurturing environment to perform, grow artistically, and connect with like-minded peers.
The event will see young musicians take to the stage before a panel of esteemed judges, with performers divided into five skill-based categories: Young Artist Foundation Level, Young Artist Elementary Level, Emerging Artist Division, Developing Artist Division, and Concert Artist Division. Designed to accommodate all levels of experience, the competition encourages both aspiring professionals and passionate amateurs to pursue musical achievement and self-expression.
Beyond the stage, the ISM Youth Piano Competition is envisioned as a transformative experience. Through mentorship, adjudication, and community engagement, participants will gain not only valuable feedback but also a sense of belonging within a wider artistic community. “This competition reflects our belief in the power of music to connect cultures, build confidence, and inspire young minds,” said organisers from the school.
The deadline for registration is Friday 6th June. All interested families and educators are encouraged to take part in this vibrant cultural initiative that promises to enrich Monaco’s already dynamic musical landscape.
