CIPCE

C.I.P.C.E. is the international piano competition celebrating Spanish composers (in Spanish: Concurso Internacional de Piano Compositores de España), which is held each year around November in the auditorium “Joaquín Rodrigo” of Las Rozas de Madrid with an international jury of renowned musicians.

Each year a different Spanish composer is honored, allowing the public the opportunity of enjoying a range of piano works.

CIPCE is a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions since the year 2022. Competitors who have achieved an appropriate standard set by the federation may pass directly to the second stage of the competition.
