Due to the evolving pandemic circumstances across Australia, the Board of the Australian National Piano Award has decided to postpone the 2021 Award that was scheduled to be presented in Shepparton from 4 – 9 October 2021.

Unfortunately, it is not feasible to consider programming the Award this year as the restrictions and lockdowns are constantly shifting across the different Australian states.

Our priority is to ensure the safety of all our finalists, adjudicators, audiences, partners and other stakeholders.

Further announcements will be made once the details of the new dates are confirmed.

While this news is disappointing, we appreciate your support and patience as we manage these changes.
