At each session, four different semi-finalists are scheduled. The first two play a Mozart concerto, chosen from Concertos n. 9 in E flat major KV 271, n. 15 in B flat major KV 450, n. 17 in G major KV 453, n. 18 in B flat major KV 456 and n. 27 in B flat major KV 595. They will be accompanied by the Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie, under the baton of Vahan Mardirossian.

After the break, the other two perform their recital. For the recital they prepare the unpublished compulsory work, Two Studies for Piano by Ana Sokolović, and two different programmes of their own choice. The choice of recital made by the jury is communicated to the candidates the day before their performance. Afterwards, we publish the recital programme in the calendar below.

Due to medical reasons, two pianists, Jacopo Giovannini and Miguel Iglesias Lista, had to withdraw from the semi-final. The semi-finalists who were scheduled to appear after these candidates will now perform earlier in the afternoon or evening. We have adapted the planning: semi-final schedule - update 12 May
