Every 5 years Chopin Piano Competition to postpone 1 year New Corona May 12 15:52
Known as the gateway to the top pianists, the "Chopin International Piano Competition" once every five years, which was scheduled this fall, has been postponed for one year.
The "Chopin International Piano Competition" is held every five years in 19th century composer Chopin's hometown of Poland and is known worldwide as a gateway to a top pianist.
The 18th competition was scheduled to be held in Warsaw, the capital city, in October to coincide with Chopin's death date, but at the National Chopin Research Institute, which will be held, the safety of participants and spectators from each country will be fully secured. It means that we have decided to postpone the year because there is a possibility that we cannot secure it.
The competition that started in 1927 was once interrupted in World War II.
The National Chopin Institute says that even if it is held this time, it can not maintain the traditional atmosphere of enjoying live performances, and Director Artur Schcrenel postponed, "I will do my best to hold it as expected. ".
The competition has an age limit, and so far, 164 people including 30 Japanese have passed the qualifying, but next year you can participate even if you exceed the age limit, and the viewing ticket that has already been sold out Is also valid.
