The Competition is open to pianists

and aged 30 years or under at the Final stage of the Competition.
The Dudley International Piano
Competition evolved in 1968 from piano classes at the Dudley
Festival of Music and Drama. It had a concerto final, was
held annually until 1989 when it became a biennial event and
from 1991 to 1995 was opened to competitors from overseas.
Many past winners including Benjamin Frith, Andrew Wilde,
Graham Scott and Paul Lewis went on to establish a successful
career whilst past competitors have included Ian Hobson, Peter
Donohoe, Joanna MacGregor and Timothy Horton. The Dudley International
Piano Competition then took a break until it re-emerged in
2000 as a competition with a recital final open to pianists
of all nationalities studying or resident in the British Isles.
Attracting entrants of an extremely high standard from all
the main colleges, its success in 2000 and 2001 dictated that
it should become a regular event and it is now held held every
two years. The concerto final with the City of Birmingham
Symphony Orchestra was introduced for the 2009 Competition.
