NASHVILLE, Tenn. - TelAve -- The Nashville International Chopin Piano Competition (NICPC) today announced a partnership with Lipscomb University to host the 2025 competition in Nashville, December 14–19. Recognized among the world's foremost piano competitions, the NICPC offers the most exceptional young pianists from around the globe the opportunity to perform and compete for more than $100,000 in prizes before live audiences and a jury of the highest caliber. This marks the first edition presented at Lipscomb University, a partnership that provides an extraordinary platform to these brilliant young artists to showcase their gifts.
The 2025 NICPC features three divisions: Young Musician I (ages 5–10), Young Musician II (ages 11–15), and Artist (ages 16–33). Preliminary auditions are held by video submission and in person in Tbilisi, Shenyang, Prague, and Bangkok, drawing talent from every continent to Nashville.

The competition culminates on December 19 in Lipscomb's Collins Alumni Auditorium, where Artist Division finalists perform with members of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra in the Closing Gala and Competition Finals. This thrilling evening may reveal the next great sensation of the piano world—the artist worthy of taking home the namesake Alexei Sultanov Memorial Discovery Prize, the highest honor of the competition. Tickets start at $20 and will be available beginning in mid-October at nashvillechopin.org.
