This year we are extremely fortunate to have our international artistes performing for us at both evening concerts. We strongly encourage all to attend these even when not included in the programmes. They are great opportunities to watch, enjoy, and support fellow pianists; the final concert is when the festival-class winners’ certificates, prizes and awards are presented. Do invite family and friends to come along too.

Light refreshments are provided for breaks and lunch.
