Chopin 

Australian International 

Piano Competition

'Promoting Chopin Excellence in Australia and the World'

About the AICPC

The Australian International Chopin Piano Competition (AICPC) was established in 2010 as a legacy of the Chopin Bicentennial Celebrations.  The competition encourages performers to explore the 19th century tradition of romantic playing, reflecting the lyrical and poetic interpretive aesthetics of Chopin’s own time. 

​

A unique element of the Australian competition is the adjunct composition competition.  This encourages young Australian composers to engage with the music of Chopin and create a wholly original, musically rich, and pianistically challenging work for piano.  The winning piece is included as mandatory repertoire in the adult piano competition.

​

The Competition is an initiative of the Friends of Chopin Australia.
