Notes

The Cincinnati-founded and supported World Piano Competition has been promoting the spirit of international unity through musical events since 1957. We have attracted pianists from 49 countries, making Cincinnati the temporary center of the piano world for two weeks every year. In the last year, the WPC website has received 31 million hits from 49 countries, reflecting the organization’s significant global presence. Large numbers of winners go on to perform and teach in prestigious institutions around the world.

The annual trivia competition is great fun and embraces everyone present in the energy of the room. We all learned a lot, shared many laughs, with moments of triumph as well as defeat. Global education as no longer a curriculum add-on, but rather a necessity for all students, as job markets and economies are increasingly interdependent. We are proudly associated with GCWAC.”
