Festival Concert

This is a very special part of the 2025 San Diego International Piano Competition & Festival for Outstanding Pianists, hosted by AmateurPianists. AmateurPianists believes in making piano music accessible to all the events during the entire 3 days are FREE to the audience. So come and bring your friends!

This Festival Concert was born out of the realization that many pianists would love to perform but are NOT ready to compete, nor want to. So this is a unique (and possibly RARE) opportunity to watch and applaud these pianists in a non-adjudicated setting. Each performer has elected to play 1 or more short pieces, with the total concert time to be around 90 minutes.

The selection of Festival pianists was by random drawing. Please show your appreciation and support by applauding—they certainly deserve it!

There will be no breaks as we want to utilize all available time for the pianists. If you need to leave or enter the hall, please do so quietly during the transition between pianists.

Please register for this Festival Concert with your RSVP to this event. This will help us monitor the number of people who plan to attend.

This event will be live-streamed on YouTube. To watch remotely, please visit https://youtube.com/live/jnKfMBZCdVU?feature=share
