WCLV BROADCASTS THE FINAL ROUNDS OF THE CIPC YOUNG ARTISTS' PIANO COMPETITION
On Saturday, April 28th at Drinko Hall of Cleveland State University, WCLV recorded the final rounds of the Cleveland International Piano Competition's National Young Artists Piano Competition for high school students. WCLV's Jacqueline Gerber was the host. The competition will be broadcast on WCLV on Monday, May 7th at 8:00 PM.
Presented biennially by the CIPC, the Young Artists is a nationwide piano competition for classical pianists ages 12 through 18. The event provides a platform that tests the skills of young students with challenging repertoire and a competition experience judged by professional pianists with successful international concert and teaching careers.
Most importantly, all contestants are provided with feedback from the jury, which offers a critique of their performance, areas of strength, and suggestions for improvement. This key feature speaks to the goal of the Young Artists competition, which is to develop the performance capabilities of young piano students, renew their commitment to piano studies, and provide an important learning and development experience.
Each of the members of the jury was a contestant or a laureate of the Cleveland International Piano Competition and they all bring years of experience and knowledge of the piano repertoire to the project.
