In 2022 after a Covid-forced reschedule we were delighted to welcome back to Hastings 45 of the finest young pianists from all over the world for the 16th Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition.

The 2022 Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition took place from 24 February until 5 March 2022 at Rye Creative Centre and the White Rock Theatre.

As we looked for ways to grow the competition we founded a new orchestra, the Royal College of Music Prince Consort Orchestra. This orchestra made up of recent graduates of the Royal College of Music provided an excellent addition to the Semi-Finals.

We were thrilled to be once again joined by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the expert baton of Rory Macdonald. Shunta Morimoto, aged just 17 wowed the jury with his performances throughout the competition and took home the first prize and Molly Townson memorial trophy.
