The 8th NTD International Piano Competition will be held in New York City from Sept. 1–5.
The International Piano Competition is part of a series of international cultural and arts events sponsored by the NTD Television Network.
“The mission of this competition is to promote traditional arts of pure authenticity, pure goodness and pure beauty and to bring back the glory of piano masterpieces from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods,” NTD said on its website.
The competition also features a specially commissioned composition, arranged from one of the vocal pieces composed by Shen Yun Performing Arts Artistic Director D. F.
This year’s commissioned piece, “Divine’s Calling,” a symphonic poem, blends the essence of Eastern and Western classical music to convey a profound sense of the divine.
Semi-finalists will have a chance to compete for the “Best Rendition Award of the Commissioned Composition.”
The semi-finals, finals, and winners’ concert will be open to audience members and livestreamed on NTD’s and Epoch Times’ websites and social media channels.
Schedule
Semi-finals: 10:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. ET on Sept. 4.
Finals: 10:15 a.m. and 2:00 ET on Sept. 5.
Winners’ Concert: 5:30 p.m. ET, Sept. 5
