Compositional Competition ‘In honor of Chopin’

Young composers competition for new piano works

The compositional competition for piano work ‘In honor of Chopin’ was established in 2012, by the festival organizers and it is held every second year of the festival. The tradition that continues to this day, serves amongst others as a motivation for talented Albanian composers to write piano works that enrich the piano literature as well as the opus of the musical creativity in the country. The competition is named after Frederick Chopin, respecting the unique, magnificent, and universal opus of this giant of piano literature. 

The festival grants three awards, first, second and third prize. The three winners of the competition are usually awarded in monetary means and their works are promoted further throughout the year by the Festival.
