WITH A WEEK TO GO BEFORE THE COMPETITION, THERE’S EXCITEMENT IN THE AIR!
Montréal, April 19, 2021 – The Concours musical international de Montréal (CMIM) unveiled the order of performance for the semi-final recitals this morning. For the 26 participating pianists, their scheduled performance time represents THE moment when the Concours musical international de Montréal (CMIM) audience can finally bear witness to the extent of the work they have invested in their art over the years. Schedule attached
STEINWAY & SONS, THE CMIM’S ARTISTIC CHOICE
As music lovers are well aware, Steinway remains the international standard as far as concert pianos are concerned. The CMIM has spared no effort to make sure that all recitals by the 26 competitors in the 2021 Piano edition are recorded on this prestigious brand of instruments.
The CMIM’s artistic choice ensures a standard of quality that allows the competitors’ performances—recorded in 15 major cities around the world—to be based on similar and advantageous piano conditions.
High quality instruments were required to capture performance subtleties from a distance and accurately convey them to our international jury and audience.
Thanks to Steinway & Sons, the Concours musical international de Montréal is able to hold an entirely digital edition with the assurance of presenting recitals that are as moving as if the competitors were here in person.
HOW CAN YOU EXPERIENCE THE SEMI-FINAL RECITALS?
As of Monday, April 26 at 10 am, the CMIM website (concoursmontreal.ca) will be turned into a concert hall where you can watch the 26 recitals of the semi-final round, free of charge! The 8 recitals of the final round will follow from May 10 to 13.
To make the recitals accessible to the greatest possible number of spectators and thereby increase the competition’s international visibility, the CMIM will also webcast the rounds on social media and various other international platforms.
April 26 to May 14, 2021 – The Piano 2021 edition will be available for free online, on the CMIM’s website.
