Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition

Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition is one of the UK's fastest growing premier piano competitions for international young pianists, and is now attracting attention from far beyond the town itself. Part of Hastings Musical Festival, the competition takes place from February 25th to March 5th at the White Rock Theatre, and culminates in a thrilling two-evening final with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.  
 
We would like to invite local school groups to attend the first two stages of this years competition free of charge. Children under 16 accompanied by an adult also can enjoy free entry to stage 1 or 2 and for 2016 we are offering tickets to school teachers for all stages up to and including the semi-finals. If you would like to book, for one or more sessions, please contact Hannah Deeble on
