$35 – $125
The Waring International Piano Competition is held biennially (every other year), and alternates between Junior and Intermediate Competitions (under age 17) and Senior Competitions (age 18-30). In 2022, the Seniors will compete in a contest postponed from the previous year. All pianists compete in the solo category, and may also compete in the concerto category. After early rounds are played out on the California State University San Bernardino, Palm Desert campus, the three concerto finalists take to the stage at the McCallum Theatre where they are accompanied by a full orchestra. In addition to performance opportunities, scholarships are given to the solo and concerto winners in each division.
The Concerto Final with Waring Festival Orchestra is on Monday, April 18 at 6 PM, at the McCallum Theatre. Tickets are $35, $75 and $125 and are now on sale through McCallumTheatre.com website. The selected concertos to be performed will have been composed by Beethoven, Prokofiev, Ravel or Rachmaninoff. Visit https://www.vwipc.org/piano-competitions/ for more details or call 760-773-2575.
