THE INTERNATIONAL EDVARD GRIEG PIANO COMPETITION Bergen, Norway
WFIMC Member since 2017
The International Edvard Grieg Piano Competition is one of the world’s leading competitions for young pianists. The competition was founded to provide an opportunity for some of the world’s best young musical talent to compete and to celebrate the work of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). Organised by KODE Art Museums and Composer Homes, the competition is held at composer Edvard Grieg’s historic home Troldhaugen in Bergen which has hosted the competition since 2012. The key ambition for today’s organization is a high quality competition with a warm and inclusive atmosphere in Grieg’s own historic surroundings. A number of events, lectures and masterclasses make The International Edvard Grieg Piano Competition a unique piano gathering in a city with long musical traditions. The finalists perform with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in the final round. The Grieg Competition aims to be a modern competition of high standards concerning impartiality and transparency. From 2016, Grieg Competition has published all votes by the Jury after the competition has ended. The level of the competitors has been extraordinary high every year, and so has the number of participants.
