The Ishikawa International Piano Competition was established in 2011 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Ishikawa Prefecture Piano Society.
As the only international piano competition on the Sea of Japan side that includes a Junior Division, it gathers outstanding talents in Kanazawa—a city rich in tradition and culture.
Through musical and international exchange, the competition aims to nurture pianists who will one day go on to perform on the world stage from Ishikawa.
