About the Competition
The Thousand Islands International Piano Competition
The Thousand Islands International Piano competition will be celebrating its 19th competition since 2002 along the beautiful St. Lawrence River when it holds the 2022 competition at Maple Grove Estate in Cape Vincent. The primary focus of this event is to provide a venue for exceptional young pianists who perform and share their music in the nurturing and confidence-building atmosphere provided in this St. Lawrence community. In return, these budding young artists bring the joy of live classical music to the Thousand Islands. Each year a special bond is created between community residents and performers.
