LIVE: NTD 8th International Piano Competition Awards Ceremony, Winners’ Concert

NTD’s 8th International Piano Competition is taking place in New York City from Sept. 2 to Sept. 5.

During the three days of competition, winners will be selected in a total of six award categories.

The International Piano Competition, with a mission to promote traditional arts, is part of a series of international cultural and arts events sponsored by NTD Television Network.

In addition to piano pieces from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, the competition features a special commissioned composition, rearranged from one of the vocal pieces composed by the artistic director of Shen Yun Performing Arts.

This year’s commissioned piece, “Divine’s Calling,” a symphonic poem, blends the essence of both Eastern and Western classical music, interpreting a profound sense of the divine.

Semifinal contestants will have a chance to compete for the “Best Rendition Award of the Commissioned Composition.”

The semifinals, finals, and winners’ concert will be open to audience members and livestreamed on NTD’s and The Epoch Times’ websites and social media channels.
