The Music department-Shanghai High School International Division Piano Invitational

We would like to invite you to Shanghai High School International Division’s inaugural Piano Invitational. This competition was inspired to strengthen the interflow of cultures between all international schools, international divisions of Chinese schools, and bilingual schools. In addition, the event strives to further develop the musical education of junior and senior high schools and give the students a supportive environment to showcase their musical talents.

Shanghai High School has an established history of showcasing and supporting a wide variety of musical events and competitions. In 2009, we began hosting the “Shangzhong Cup” Piano Competition of Shanghai, which is one of the Shanghai Students Single Category Art Competitions sponsored by the local government. This competition has welcomed several famous musicians from throughout the world to be judges as well as to coach the students in the competition, such as Xiaosheng Zhao, Zhe Tang, and Jean-Francois Heisser. As part of our invitational, a guest judge provides a professional workshop on improvisation before the final competition. And as a prize for the award-winning students, we also hold a special performance for them on a professional stage.

“Music is the language of the world”, some say. Shanghai High School has an established reputation as an excellent educational institution that supports and promotes music education through events such as the “Shangzhong Cup” Piano Competition.

In bringing together all international schools and divisions, we believe this invitational will be an even greater success. At the same time, we look forward to the support from all school leaders and music departments as we share in our enjoyment and appreciation of music!
