History

The Dallas International Piano Competition was established in 2012 by Richard McKay and the Dallas Chamber Symphony. [1] Early iterations of the competition were held at Southern Methodist University. [2] [3] Since 2022, the event has been held biennially and hosted in the Dallas Arts District. Pianists 18-35 years of age are eligible to participate. [4] [5]

The event typically spans three rounds, which are held over the course of several days, with earlier rounds focused on concerto and solo repertoire. [6] Since 2022, finalists have performed piano concertos with the Dallas Chamber Symphony at Moody Performance Hall. [7]

A jury of notable concert pianists and pedagogues decide how to award the competition’s main prize, consisting of a cash award and engagement to perform an additional concert with the Dallas Chamber Symphony. [6] The competition also awards an audience choice award, which is tabulated by vote of audience members in attendance at the competition’s finals concert. [5]
