Bach Piano Competition

Bach Piano Competition is a CAPMT Orange County Chapter event. Started in 2017, it fosters highly motivated students who have mastered Baroque interpretation, particularly the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Correct stylistic performance is expected, including ornaments, standard articulation, and touch according to the Baroque period. The repertoire must follow the guidelines according to the categories, without exceptions.

Winners will be invited to perform one piece selected by the judge in the Winners’ Concert.
