Introduction

The Satori CM encourages the study of music, creates performing opportunities and enriches the culture of the community.

Welcome to our 2nd Annual Young Pianist Contest!  After many years of successfully hosting the Satori Strings Contest, there have been quite a few inquiries to include a piano contest.  Since we are going to move our event to a bigger venue this year, we thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to begin a piano contest.  The Satori Young Pianist Contest 2017 will be held at the same time and location as Satori Strings Contest.  Please check out our new categories for the piano contest, you will find that our principles are still focused on the encouragement of learning music.  We hope you will like our contributions and enjoy these summer events.  Good luck to all young pianists

The Satori Young Pianist Contest is sponsored by Amac Violin Center and Satori Strings Inc.
