Few Places left at ClaviCologne 2026!

Applications are now open for the 2026 edition of the ClaviCologne Festival, with young pianists invited to apply for its International Piano Masterclasses, taking place from 4 to 8 August 2026 at the Conservatory “Luisa D’Annunzio” in Pescara, Italy.

The programme offers an intensive week of artistic development, bringing together talented pianists and internationally renowned professors in one of Italy’s most vibrant cultural settings. The application deadline is 30 June 2026, and interested participants are encouraged to register early as places are limited.

The masterclasses are open to pianists through two participation formats.

Active participants will receive a unique opportunity to study with several world-class teachers, taking five individual masterclasses with different professors, each lasting 45 minutes. In addition, they will be able to participate in a special open masterclass with guest artists, with further details to be announced soon. Active participants will also enjoy unlimited access to all other festival masterclasses and receive at least 2.5 hours of daily practice time.

For those wishing to observe and learn from the sessions, passive participation is also available, allowing attendees to listen to an unlimited number of masterclasses throughout the festival.

Held in the inspiring setting of Pescara, on Italy’s Adriatic coast, the ClaviCologne Festival continues its mission of providing young pianists with exceptional educational opportunities while fostering an atmosphere of artistic exchange and discovery.

With the 30 June 2026 application deadline approaching, aspiring pianists are encouraged to secure their place and take part in this dynamic international gathering dedicated to the art of piano performance.
