WINNER’S RECITAL

In 2001, the Competition introduced a recital at Carnegie Hall Weill’s Hall as a component of the first prize for pianists 18–30. The goal was to attract applicants who were qualified to perform on the New York stage. The number of applications increased, and competitor quality has been consistently high. The recital and resulting media exposure are extremely valuable for a pianist’s resume, enhancing the possibilities for future performances. Acknowledging the importance of this performance prize, in 2022 the HHSO conducted a successful endowment campaign in honor of recently retired Director, Mona Huff, to recognize her great leadership of the HHIPC. The Mona Huff Carnegie Hall Recital Fund was established as a permanent fund that will support the triennial Carnegie Hall recital for the senior division winner.

Our 2022 winner, Jaeden Izik-Dzurko, performed magnificently on October 14 to a sold-out crowd populated with Hilton Head supporters, Jaeden’s extended family and current professor from British Columbia, friends from his days at Juilliard, and many discerning New York piano aficionados. You can read Frank Daykin’s glowing review at nyconcertreview.com. The next opportunity to attend this recital will be in 2025—the year of the HHIPC’s next 18-30 competition.
