The Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition has been designed as an entrée into the world of piano performance for those seriously interested in pursuing a professional career.  Founded in 2003 by the late David Bradshaw and Cosmo Buono, the Competition is open to students from age four to adults, and divided into five categories:

Carnegie Hall will be the site of the Annual Winners' Recitals. The 2010 Recitals are to be held on Sunday May 23, 2010 at 1:30 and 5:30PM.

Given the increased number of applicants, the Competition executives and judges are prepared to add still a third recital at Carnegie Hall as necessary, with the date to be announced each year after the final selection of all winners has been made.

Applicants chosen as winners are given their debut performance in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall as the First Prize. Multiple winners will be chosen in each division.

Recitals for Second Prize Winners will be held on December 12, 2009, at the Kosciuszko Foundation Auditiorium in New York. Multiple winners in each age division will be chosen.
