Wingate Piano Competition

We will be holding the competition in person this year! It will take place at Wingate University's Batte Center Recital Hall on Nov.6, 2021. Click here to view the campus  map.

For the safety of all involved, we will ask that friends and family wait in in the lobby or seating areas outside of the Recital Hall. All competitors and family are asked to be masked, and remain masked, the entire time you are in the music building.

You can park anywhere around the music building on campus, although using the north side of the music building will take you right to the Recital Hall doors.

We will announce the winners shortly after the competition ends. This time will vary, depending on the number of competitors. If you are not able to wait, simply leave a number, email address, and mailing address with one of our students so that we can contact you later.
