Bringing top young pianists from the Americas, Asia, and Europe to Chautauqua each summer, the Piano Program culminates in the Chautauqua Piano Competition, a highlight each season in the programming of the School of Music.
This year, the competition returns in grand form with a Winners' Recital in the Amphitheater. This recital is a celebratory showcase of the prizewinner Jonathan Mamora's virtuosity, brilliance, and transcendence. This celebration recital is an event not to be missed!
