Program notes
Following two years of preliminary contests held in the USA, France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Kazakhstan, Poland, the UK, Armenia, China, South Korea, Japan, Israel, and Spain, the top artists from each convene in Dubai with the goal of winning the third edition of the prestigious Classic Piano International Competition! The first two rounds in Dubai showcased our talented young competitors in solo repertoire, but in this third of four rounds, they have the opportunity to perform the gorgeous, atmospheric From My Bookshelf Suite—composed by Alexey Shor in collaboration with Mikhail Pletnev—and Mozart's stormy Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor alongside the esteemed Armenian State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sergey Smbatyan. Watch and find out who will move on to the final concerto round!
