Concours International de Piano de Lagny-Sur-Marne

Come with us on a journey that started in France, where Béatrice Quoniam, the General Director, and Pascal Nemirovski, the Artistic Director, founded the Concours National de Piano de Lagny-Sur-Marne in 2006. With the help of Mayor Patrice Pagny and Deputy Mayor Francoise Copeland, the competition gained popularity rapidly, and by 2009 it had transformed into the Concours International de Piano de Lagny-Sur-Marne, attracting pianists from all corners of the globe.

Concours International de Piano Antoine de Saint-Eupéry

Following the success of the Lagny-Sur-Marne competition, Quoniam and Nemirovski embarked on a new project in 2017, establishing the Concours International de Piano Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in Saint-Priest, France. The competition was renamed to pay tribute to the legendary French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and Mayor Gilles Gascon played an instrumental role in bringing it to life. Isaure Equilbey was appointed as the Artist Manager for the winners, and the competition continued to attract the most talented pianists worldwide. While the final edition of the Saint-Priest competition took place in 2019, the legacy of these exceptional musical events endures.

In the genesis of our competition, we would like to highlight Co-Artistic Director Jura Margulis's past experiences, which also bring a long tradition of quality and competence to IPM. These experiences include two noteworthy events in the USA and Germany.

International Fulbright Concerto Competition

The first event was the International Fulbright Concerto Competition, which took place in the USA in 2007 and 2011. The competition boasted a range of esteemed guest artists, such as Tamas Ungar, Paul Badura-Skoda, Ignat Solyhenitzyn, Menahem Pressler, Robert McDonald, and Nelita Trull. Notably, many of the competition's laureates have gone on to have successful careers in music, including Young-Ah Tak, Esther Park, Corbin James Beisner Lio Kuok-Wai, Inna Faliks, Zlata Chochieva, Sonia Chan, Anna Bulkina, Anastasya Terenkov, Mateusz Moleda, Yoonjung Han, Vladimir Khomyakov, Christopher Falzone, Arthur Ancell.

International Piano Academy Freiburg

The second event is the International Piano Academy Freiburg, which ran from 2007 to 2017 in Germany. This academy welcomed an impressive roster of guest artists, including Martha Argerich, Paul Badura-Skoda, Dmitry Bashkirov, Elizabeth Leonskaja, Vitaly Margulis, Bella Davidovich, Malcolm Bilson, Evgeni Koroliov, Lylia Zilberstein, Peter Donohoe, Bernd Glemser, Igor Kamenz, Sergey Babayan, Boris Bloch, Kirill Gerstein, Ingrid Fliter, Olli Mustonen, Polina Leschenko, and Awadagin Pratt. These guest artists are among the most respected in the classical music world and have inspired and mentored many successful musicians over the years.

IPM recommends that students secure their accommodation separately from the IPM Vienna Academy. We suggest booking accommodation promptly as availability is limited, especially at this time of the year!
