TOETSEN (‘KEYS’)- new competition for pianists age 11 through 17

Young Pianist Foundation and Liszt Utrecht launch the newest and most fun showcase for pianists aged 11 to 17!

Spread over two weekends, you get to perform in the most beautiful concert halls in Utrecht and Amsterdam. In the first round you get to perform your self-chosen pieces and in the second round you will also play together with a real string quartet!

Before and after your concerts, you will be accompanied by top pianists such as Thomas Beijer, Daria van den Bercken, Mariana Izman, Christiaan Kuyvenhoven and Ralph van Raat. And we are going to help you get relaxed on stage.

Schedule

1 November 2024 – Entry deadline
12 January 2025 – First round in TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht
23 February 2025 – Workshop day
8 March 2025 – Second round in the BIMHUIS, Amsterdam
