Dallas International Piano
Festival and Competition

Every year in June, the Dallas Chamber Symphony hosts the Dallas International Music Festival and Competition, which in successive years, focuses on pianists, cellists, and violinists. The annual event is comprised of two separate, but concurrently running parts; 1) an international “Pro” competition for classically trained performers aged 18 to 30 (inclusive) who are ready to launch a solo career, and 2) a “Youth” festival of performances and masterclasses for those aged 15 to 18 (inclusive) and residing in Texas, who have reached an advanced level of performance on their instrument.

Performers who are interested in participating in either the competition or the youth masterclasses can review the required repertoire, entry conditions, and additional details about the competition rounds in the regulations for their respective program. The application and preliminary audition process for each program is processed entirely online.
