Piano competitions that provide keyboard choice


The first international piano competition in the world (Dallas Chamber Symphony International Piano Competition), held in March every year, has offered a choice of Steinbuhler keyboards (DS5.5® and DS6.0®), as well as the conventional keyboard, to participants since 2014. For further information about the competition, visit:   http://www.dcspianocompetition.org/  
​
A contestant in the 2017 competition, 
Mi-Eun Kim, played Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 on a DS6.0® keyboard. She tried this size keyboard for the first time the day before the competition and adjusted within an hour!

From 2018, a second piano competition in Oklahoma has provided the option of a Steinbuhler DS6.0® keyboard. The Kuleshov International Piano Festival and Competition is funded by the Swigeart Foundation in association with the UCO College of Fine Arts and Design and the UCO School of Music. It caters for pianists aged 15-24.  For further information visit: http://www.uco.edu/cfad/thekuleshov/index.asp
