Semifinal & Final Rounds

 

Semifinalists and alternates will be announced on February 28th, 2025 via email, social media, and on the Teupha website. If a semifinalist cannot attend, the alternate list will be consulted for the next person to be invited to attend and will be notified as soon as possible. We encourage ALL alternates to keep up their preparation of the competition pieces, in case semifinalists need to drop out of the competition.

​

Semifinalists are responsible for preparing all required music for their division (for both semifinal and final rounds), both unaccompanied and accompanied pieces. Festival adjudicators will listen to and rate the performances at the Competition in live performance, but competitors are identified by letters and/or numbers, not by name. The order of performance within each division will change between Saturday (Day 1) and Sunday (Day 2). Performances are NOT open to the public.

​

During the Competition in May, contestants will be photographed and finalists will have their performances live streamed. All contestants will be required to sign a social media release form upon application. Semifinalists agree to Teupha’s use of photos, videos, and audio recordings during their participation in the competition.

​

Once an applicant is selected as a semifinalist, they are responsible for their own travel and accommodations. Teupha can provide transportation to/from local hotels to the Competition site on a case by case basis.

​

Final Round

 

Finalist competitors are announced at the Sunday luncheon and have until the following day to polish and rehearse. All Festival adjudicators rate the final round competitors. The public is invited to attend all finals and the Festival will live stream them. It is the responsibility of each contestant to bring the piano sheet music accompaniment unless they are playing with band accompaniment.​
