Piano sur scène

The International Competition

Above all, Piano Campus is an encounter which strives to be youthful, daring and dynamic. Classical ritual, formal clothes have to be forgotten! Let's think about natural and original behaviour! 

 

If "jeans" and "tee shirts" are not still compulsory, candidates are welcome to play in natural and modern contemporary dress.

 

A sure way of showing that classical pianists are also “with it”.
