XIX International Chopin Piano Competition
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:02:58 PM Wikipedia source
The XIX International Chopin Piano Competition (Polish: XIX Międzynarodowy Konkurs Pianistyczny im. Fryderyka Chopina) was held from 2 to 23 October 2025 in Warsaw, Poland. The 2025 competition marked the beginning of the International Chopin Piano Competition's centenary celebrations and drew a record 642 applicants. Following a preliminary round, in which 162 candidates were selected to perform, 85 pianists were admitted to the main stage, including 19 prize-winners of other major piano competitions who qualified directly. The competition proceeded through three solo stages, after which eleven pianists advanced to the final. For the first time, finalists were required to perform the Polonaise-Fantaisie, Op. 61, in addition to one of Chopin's two piano concertos with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. The competition was won by Eric Lu of the United States, with Kevin Chen of Canada taking second place and Zitong Wang of China third. The jury's verdict was met with some surprise by commentators, as no clear frontrunner had emerged during the competition, in contrast to previous editions. Jury chairman Garrick Ohlsson noted that the deliberations had been long and difficult.
