Description

🎹 Concordia Keyboard Day Piano Competition 2025 🎹

For the past years, Concordia Keyboard Day has supported and celebrated the musical achievements of young pianists from across Southern California. This year, we are pleased to announce the return of this event on Saturday, November 15, 2025.

📢 Important Schedule Update
Our annual competition, which has traditionally been held in March, will now take place in November beginning this year. This adjustment will better align with our academic calendar and event schedule.

Because of this change, there will be two Keyboard Day events in 2025—one in March (as previously scheduled) and another in November in conjunction with the competition. From 2026 onward, Keyboard Day will be held only in November.

🎶 Competition Highlights

All participants will receive adjudication notes and medals or trophies from our outstanding adjudicators.

The first-place winner of each division will receive a scholarship to the 2026 Concordia Summer Piano Festival and will be featured in the Winner’s Concert on Sunday, November 16, 2025.

We are pleased to offer various age categories for solo piano performances as well as piano ensemble divisions.

✨ New for 2025: We are introducing Qualified and Open Categories to provide pianists with more flexibility in repertoire choices and performance opportunities. Please visit our website for the recommended repertoire list by category.
