Leeds International Piano Competition

The Leeds International Piano Competition is one of the world’s foremost music competitions. Since its inception in 1963, the Leeds International Piano Competition has been a trailblazer among international music competitions and has shaped the world of classical piano. Prize-winners include the Competition’s Patron Murray Perahia KBE, Radu Lupu, Mitsuko Uchida, András Schiff, Lars Vogt, Anna Tsybuleva, Federico Colli and Eric Lu. 

The founders were three friends - Dame Fanny Waterman, Marion Thorpe Countess of Harewood and Rosalyn Lyons - who attracted young musicians to Leeds by the opportunities offered by an outstanding prize package, the challenge of demanding repertoire, a stellar jury, and the very warmest welcome from the people of Yorkshire.
