TBILISI
INTERNATIONAL PIANO MASTERS
Your World-Class Musical Experience in Georgia
July 20-28, 2024
Welcome to IPM.
We are thrilled to be in 2024 in Tbilisi!
IPM marked a significant milestone in 2023 with the successful inauguration of the IPM Festival in Vienna. It attracted world-renowned pianists associated with prestigious institutions and renowned performance venues, gaining acclaim for its outstanding competitions and unwavering commitment to the training of young musicians.
IPM is a journey from surprise to surprise! Capitalizing on this accomplishment, the organization extended its influence by introducing a new International Piano Masters Festival in Tbilisi this year. What a fabulous adventure awaits us in magnificent Tbilisi, Georgia, with an extraordinary piano faculty and incredible young pianists from around the globe.
Our venue, the wonderful Tbilisi State Conservatoire, will be the perfect setting for a week filled with piano lessons, lectures, discussions, performance opportunities, a solo International Piano Competition with three age categories and an International Piano Concerto Competition. Particularly noteworthy is the chance for some promising talents from this event to collaborate with the Giya Kancheli Tbilisi Youth Orchestra in one of Tbilisi's most prestigious music venues. Participants also enjoy the distinct opportunity to showcase their talents in the Promising Star Concerts.
At IPM, our mission is to provide aspiring young pianists with a rich tapestry of piano-focused activities, creating a vibrant community and educational platform where knowledge, experiences, and passion seamlessly converge. So this year, we're excited to host an artist manager, Stefan Pierig Escher, Senior Artist & Booking Manager from IMG Artists, who will lead workshops covering essential skills for aspiring artists. Topics include crafting biographies/CVs, programming/repertoire, fee negotiation, finding representation (Agencies), career strategy, and self-coaching. These sessions offer invaluable guidance to help young artists navigate their careers successfully.
Join us for the vibrant concerts, master classes, lectures, discussions, competitions, and performance opportunities at the International Piano Masters Tbilisi Festival in beautiful Georgia from July 20 - 28, 2024!
