Our poster this year has just being released!!! Blue is our theme color because it resembles the breeze and waves of the ocean in summer, same as the flow in music.

Press coverage of our artistic director Ching-Yun Hu and one of our faculty Ursula Oppens from Inquirer.
"Philadelphia Young Pianists’ Academy (Aug. 8-15). The faculty-recital part of this year’s crash-course for keyboard artists opens Aug. 8 with an all-Rachmaninoff recital by Ching-Yun Hu that includes the Sonata No. 2 in B Flat minor (Op. 36) and complete Etude Tableaux (Op. 39).
Renowned new music champion Ursula Oppens picks up the Rachmaninoff theme with an Aug. 13 piano recital that covers some of the Etudes (Op. 33) before moving on to more contemporary territory: Elliott Carter’s Two Diversions, John Corigliano’s Winging It, and Conlon Nancarrow’s Two Canons for Ursula.
Both at the Curtis Institute of Music. (347-324-8967, www.pypa.info)"
The concert schedule and tickets of this year's festival are now on the PYPA website. There're several highlights: First of all, we have Gary Graffman on the list and one of his masterclasses is open to the public to observe. Secondly, there're faculty's recitals and young artists' concerts during the event. Thirdly, and the most exciting, any public audience can come and observe the "Philadelphia International Piano Competition".
