SCOTTISH INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION RSAMD/City Halls. Glasgow. Thu 6-Sat 15 Sep
Some of the world‘s most talented pianists descend on Glasgow this month. Entrants to the eighth Scottish International Piano Competition arrive from as far afield as New Zealand and China. Open to musicians between the ages of 18 and 28. the competition is held every three years in Glasgow and offers a first prize of £10,000 plus a Bluthner grand piano. The 34 pianists who will take part have been selected from hundreds of applicants.
‘This year. the quality of the entrants is amazing,‘ says Elise Sochart, one of the organisation‘s Board of Directors who organise the event on a voluntary basis so that as much money as possible can go towards the prizes and competitors‘ travel expenses. ‘Our music committee members lock themselves away for a weekend to listen to recordings of everyone who has appfledf

Over an intensive period of 11 days. those who have been successful in selection compete in front of a jury of highly experienced musicians. chaired by RSAMD principal. John Wallace. After various stages of whittling down. four semi-finalists play a concerto of their choice with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a nail-biting atmosphere at City Halls.
Nerve wracking it may be. but competitions are an essential experience for young pianists.
‘This event is important because it brings them onto a world stage.‘ says Elise Sochart. ‘They get known by travelling around.‘ The Glasgow event also offers competitors the much welcomed comfort of Scottish home hospitality. and follow-on outreach work with Scottish schools.
‘It raises the profile of the piano among school- children and the kids are absolutely entranced.‘ 2004 winner, Tanya Gabrielian (pictured). gives this year's opening recital. As to a hot tip for her 2007 successor. Elise Sochart says: ‘Sorry. I haven't a clue. I'm in total awe of all of them.‘ (Carol Main).
