Welcome to the 7th edition of the Piano Island Festival 2025! We are thrilled to bring our vibrant community of piano lovers together in Bangkok, Thailand, from July 22nd to 29th. This year's festival promises to be our most exquisite and intimate gathering yet, featuring Masterclasses, Public Masterclasses, and Concerts led by our esteemed Faculty and Guest professors.

The grand prize winner of the competition will also be invited as a jury member for the 8th edition.

Piano Island Management Pte. Ltd. was founded in Singapore in 2018, where we pioneered our vision and mission to empower bringing piano lovers together from all over the world to build up on their piano journey. Piano Island Management started it's series of Piano Island Festivals from 2018, where we held our 1st debut edition in Singapore, followed by our 2nd edition in La Reunion Island, 3rd edition back in Singapore, 4th edition online (due to Covid-19), 5th edition in Kuala Lumpur, and the 6th edition in Jakarta.

In 2024, we received more than 450 applications from all over the world. We witnessed a very high level in the festival competition, not to forget the huge success we had in the previous years hosting pre selection rounds internationally. We can now be assured of the international standard set by our competition prize winners as well as our highly distinguished faculty - Dang Thai Son, Stanislav Ioudenitch, Antonio Pompa-Baldi, Philippe Cassard, Eliane Reyes, Pascal Roge, Kevin Kenner, Antonio di Cristofano, etc.

All of us here at Piano Island Festival strongly believe in the future of classical music, and we wish to be the platform for many emerging artists, to help them take their first steps in their career.

For those of you who are planning to join us in 2025, we, the festival team, are preparing enthusiastically for what we believe will be a satisfying experience for you. We are counting down the days until we welcome you in person!

Thank you very much for your continued and encouraging support to our festival.

Piano Island Festival

7th Edition - Thailand (22nd to 29th July 2025)

The Piano Island International Music Festival is a classical music festival featuring renowned teachers and highly gifted performers. We provide musical education of the highest quality to serious music students.

In principle, the concept of the festival is to present a series of public masterclasses to a very selective group of pianists, daily lectures and forums to interact with local music teachers and students, concerts featuring our invited guest artists and faculty.

An international piano competition will be organised separately from the festival, providing gifted participants numerous opportunities to perform internationally, including a concerto performance in Europe for the 2026 season, 2 years management, and a professional CD recording.
