The Application Guides for the 41st YIPC will be announced in early autumn 2022.
The Yokohama International Piano Concert is a prime example of Yokohama’s ongoing effort to promote the new and the best in culture.
Every year, as part of our efforts to discover and introduce new talent, we invite winners of international piano competitions to perform at Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall. Over the past 39 years, we have introduced more than 180 pianists from all over the world.
The Planning Committee calls for young pianists to apply for the 40th concert, taking place November 2022 in Yokohama, Japan.
Chair: Akiko EBI, Members: Ryosuke HORI, Takashi HIRONAKA, Mamiko SUDA, Kei ITOH
