Following the success of the “hybrid” formula, presented for the first time in 2021, the first part of the competition will once again be held online. The forty selected pianists will have until 13 July to submit their videos for the Online Recital, which will be live streamed from 12-18 September. The eight candidates selected after this first official round will be invited to pursue the competition from October 22nd in Geneva, Switzerland.
The public Semi-Final Round will be held from 24-30 October and will take place in three stages: a solo recital (60-75 minutes), followed by a chamber music performance (30-40 minutes), and finally, each semi-finalist will have to present and defend a personal artistic project, which the Concours de Genève will then contribute towards realizing as part of the prizewinners’ career development programme. A new feature of the 2022 edition, this third stage seeks to provide further insight into the young pianists’ artistic personality.
The Piano Final, major event attracting a large audience of music lovers, will be held at prestigious Victoria Hall on November 3rd with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, conducted by Maržena Diakun, and will be followed by the prize-giving ceremony.
All competition rounds are livestreamed on our website & social media platforms, as well as on medici.tv. The Finals are also broadcast live on the RTS – Espace 2.
