The reality of an international competition is unforgiving. This is why the CMIM finds it essential to give everyone the chance to benefit from an unforgettable experience, even for those who do not advance beyond the First Round. Therefore, the Competition has partnered with local presenters outside the island of Montreal, allowing 3 of the 14 eliminated pianists to showcase their Semifinal program to Hudson audiences. Everyone stands to gain from this initiative, including the competitors, presenters, audiences, and the Competition itself, which now has an even richer and more accessible program for everyone!
