Our 1st Piano Composition Competition 2023 For Junior and Adult
We are delighted to announce our inaugural Piano Composition Competition for composers of all ages worldwide, including separate categories for juniors and adults. This is an opportunity to showcase their skills and talent in this exciting musical field to a wider audience and to our acclaimed Composition judges.
Why Join the competition?
Our exciting prizes for the winning pieces include: Performance of your piece recorded by the esteemed concert pianist, composer and AGMA juror Marcel Zidani for the Around the Globe Music & Arts YouTube Channel!
The top-winning piano works are to be promoted via our website and included in the AGMA recommended repertoire list of Contemporary Classical & Jazz compositions for the Piano Competition 2024!
The purpose of the competition is to encourage interest in piano composition,
to stimulate creativity, self-expression and the creation of work written for piano,
an instrument which Around the Globe Music & Arts
has intensely promoted since the formation of its piano festivals.
