America's premier jazz and classical awards
The mission of the American Piano Awards is to discover, promote and advance the careers of young, American, world-class jazz and classical pianists. We celebrate the beauty of music through America's premier jazz and classical awards.
The American Piano Awards nurture the artistic growth of America's top young pianists by focusing on creative expression and career development. Since our founding in 1979, the American Piano Awards have supported 46 winners.
The American Piano Awards are held every two years to discover the best aspiring young American jazz or classical pianists. The unique and innovative competitions span 13 months and provide a platform to deeply engage musical artists in a variety of creative formats and settings. Winners receive cash and two-years of career advancement and support valued at over $100,000, making this one of the most coveted prizes in the music world and the largest for American jazz pianists.
