Crescendo to the Finals!

The moment has come – the Finals are upon us! For the closing concerts of the competition we welcome the Edward Gardner and the fantastic Halle Orchestra!

The Leeds welcomes back Lang Lang!

Lang Lang is the Leeds International Piano Competition’s very own Global Ambassador. And who better to represent The Leeds across the world, than one of the greatest living pianists?

Illustrious chamber musicians and competitors join forces

It is the fifth day of the competition and we are at centre point of the Semi-Finals.  The added pleasure of this stage is the stellar guests who join our pianists for chamber works. The competitors have the opportunity to exhibit their musicianship with some of the world’s finest instrumentalists...

Presenting your host – Petroc Trelawny
