From March 31, 2023 to April 2, 2023, the "International Piano Competition for Young Pianists Kronberg" will be held for the first time in the newly built Kronberg Casals Forum.

The non-profit association "International Piano Competition Taunus e. V." invites children and young people of all nations between the ages of 6 and 19 to make music and demonstrate their skills in the Carl-Bechstein-Saal as well as the large chamber music hall.

We are very pleased to provide the young pianists with the Casals Forum with its first-class acoustics, equipment and special ambience.

Every two years, Kronberg will become the center of piano music and the meeting place for piano-loving children and young people.

The registered participants qualify for the competition through a digital preliminary round via video selection. All competitions are open to the public! Audience is very welcome and admission is free!

A top-class jury will award numerous prizes and special prizes in seven age groups with prize money of up to €20,000. The prize winners' concert on Sunday, April 2, 2023 at 5 p.m. will feature the first prize winners in each age group as well as some special prize winners.

The competition offers talented children and young people a stage. It conveys the joy of making music and sustainably promotes the level and quality of music making as well as special talents. It combines professionalism and the highest standards with cordiality, appreciation and a pleasant atmosphere.

We warmly welcome all participants and wish them every success!
