2015 Winners

Each year, the CDCYM hosts its Annual Chopin Piano Competition in Latham, NY. On Saturday, September 19, 2015, 29 musicians of the ages of 6-19 competed in front of two distinguished judges: Dr. Paul Wyse and Dr. François Germain. 

The competition is divided into three age groups (Chopin Novice, Chopin Apprentice, and Chopin Master) with the winner and runner-up of each group winning a cash prize and a chance to perform in the Winners Concert along with Guest Artist Michael Rogers (2004 Chopin Master Winner) the following afternoon. Here are the recordings of this year's winners at the Chopin Piano Competition Winners Concert.
