Support us

Hastings International Piano showcases the world’s best young concert pianists through our biennial piano competition and our concerts and recitals, as well as taking the very best of music-making into our community through our pioneering Learning and Participation programme.

Why support us?

We receive no public funding towards our core costs and our work simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of individuals, corporate members and business sponsors.
