Become an American Friend
By becoming a US Friend of Hastings International Piano you will be helping us support and promote the next generation of concert pianists
Our mission is not only to deliver a world-class competition attracting the finest young concert pianists, but also to support affordable access to concerts fostering appreciation for the classical music repertoire across all ages and demographics. From its origins in 1907 as a performing arts competition, Hastings International Piano has grown into a world-class arts organisation with little or no government funding and an exceptional level of support from individuals and private foundations.
Many of our laureates are US-based and we have ambitious plans to increase our activity here, including concerts and schools activity. Your valued support will enable this vital work to continue and we look forward to inviting you to further special events as we support our growing community of young pianists.
