José Iturbi International Piano Competition
- José Iturbi International Piano Competition
The José Iturbi Competition is an international piano competition named after the famed Spanish virtuoso José Iturbi, who later became a famous Hollywood actor. Created in 1981, it has been carried out ever since in the month of September and is part of the World Federation of International Music Competitions. Since 1984, it is held every two years at either the "Palau de la Musica" theatre or the "Teatro Principal" in Valencia, Spain, birthplace of José Iturbi. The competition consists of five rounds: 1st preliminaries, 2nd preliminaries, semi-finals, 1st finals (a classical concerto played with orchestra) and 2nd finals (a romantic concerto played with orchestra). The prize has always included a cash award, recital and orchestral engagements, and a recording contract. On two occasions, 1982 and 1992, a First Prize was not awarded.
