Discover Artists. Shape Their Future.
Every three years, our Competition brings extraordinary young musicians into the world’s view.
But the real work often begins the morning after: helping them build a career, find their voice, and share it with audiences everywhere. We look for that talent wherever it is — on the Piano Trail, in a festival, on a street corner — not only on a competition stage. Some of the musicians we champion are only just beginning; others already hold a Leeds Gold Medal. We think our supporters should see both.
Whichever way you’d like to be involved, you become part of that story — from the first rounds in cities like Paris, New York and Beijing, through to the Leeds finals, and into the years that follow.
