As part of the Prima Music Institute & Festival, selected participants will have the opportunity to compete in the PMIF Concerto Competition and the PMIF Recital Performance Competition.
Winners will be awarded fully funded performance opportunities, including:
• A paid trip to Rome, Italy, with airfare and hotel accommodations fully covered, to perform a movement of a concerto with a chamber orchestra, and
• Featured solo recital performances in New York and California.
In addition, all competition winners will be named PMIF Scholars and will be invited to perform at various prestigious venues throughout the 2026–2027 concert season, gaining ongoing performance exposure and professional development.
These competitions are designed to recognize exceptional artistry, preparation, and musical maturity, and to provide young pianists with meaningful international and national performance experience.
