TESTIMONIALS

The Competition is truly an entertaining and rewarding experience … and is free to the public! I highly recommend experiencing these engaging performances at this enjoyable annual event.

Compared with the numerous piano competitions our daughter attended locally, statewide and internationally, San Jose International Piano Competition was our favorite one!

We are so fortunate to have the San Jose International Piano Competition right here in the Bay Area. An organization of the highest caliber, this annual event showcases some of the world’s most talented young pianists.

Since 2000, San Jose has had the good fortune of hosting the International Russian Music Piano Competition. The annual age-group competitions that are organized and carried out so beautifully attract the very best young pianistic talent nationally and internationally, and a number of my own students have benefited enormously from preparing and participating in them.
