Dallas International Piano Competition Explained
The Dallas International Piano Competition, originally known as the Dallas Chamber Symphony (or DCS) International Piano Competition, is a competition hosted by the Dallas Chamber Symphony. The competition was first held in 2013.[1]
Created by Dallas Chamber Symphony, the competition offers professional and pre-professional pianists the opportunity to perform before an internationally-renowned jury and win cash awards.
As one of the prizes is to play with the Dallas Chamber Symphony, applicants are encouraged to explore pieces that are well-suited for accompaniment by a chamber orchestra.[2]
Prizes
Cash prizes are $1,000 for third place, $2,000 for second, and $2,500 for first. The winner also performs their prize-winning concerto with the Dallas Chamber Symphony.[3]
Venues
Most competition events take place at the Moody Performance Hall, where the DCS accompanies the finalists before a public audience.
