THE INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE FOR

(ICPA)



Application


Admission

Participation in the International Certificate Sessions is highly competitive. A limited number of students from around the world are chosen for the program each year. These students are admitted to a special nine month course during which they are coached by a team of distinguished artists/teachers. In addition to the program's artist faculty, select world-renowned artists will be invited as special guest professors.

Pianists eligible to apply include those who are working on or who have received an MM in Piano Performance; are currently studying or who have completed a DMA in Piano Performance; are working on or who have received a Diplôme d'Exécution; are working on or who have received a Diplôme Supérieur from a Belgian Conservatory; and graduates from Musik Hochschule, or students who have an equivalent diploma.

Consideration may also be given to the finalist of an international competition and any pianist of a high technical and artistic level interested in performing professionally or in a professional teaching career. In the latter case, a live audition will be requested.

There is no age limit for the International Certificate for Piano Artists.
