Today we will follow the journey of three participants in the Leeds International Piano Competition. From 11 to 21 September 2024, young pianists from all over the world came to this city in central England to submit to the jury chaired by Imogen Cooper. Who among them will add their name to Radu Lupu, Murray Perahia, Mitsuko Uchida, András Schiff, Lars Vogt, Sunwook Kim, or Alim Beisembayev, former winners of this competition? You will find out by listening to these three artists during the second phase, the semi-final and the final, during which they will be accompanied by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Domingo Hindoyan.
