More About Us
Established in 1998, the Miami International Piano Festival is the offspring of Patrons of Exceptional Artists, a 501(c)(3) non profit. It is dedicated to the discovery, promotion, nurture, and support of extraordinary artists and the long-term goal of ensuring continuity with the great traditions of the past.
Recognized as one of the most exciting recital series in the world today, the festival presents artists, both emerging and established, who have distinct voices, who challenge convention by demonstrating that there are important things still to be said in both mainstream and rare repertoire, and who clearly deserve extensive careers.
Now reaching more than two decades, the festival has earned a reputation for high musical standards and has become a potent force in the musical world. Each year, the Artistic Advisory Committee made up of pianists, music critics and scholars on two continents seek to identify extraordinary talents capable of impacting listeners and of leading us into the next "Golden Age" of piano playing. This is not a matter of competition but rather of selection based upon criteria of notable excellence.
The festival is making an indelible mark in the musical world. Since 1998, it has discovered and presented dozens of innovative talents and assisted their introduction to recording companies, concert managements, and promoters in this country and abroad. Two of our pianists have received the prestigious Gilmore Artists Award - Piotr Anderszewski and Ingrid Fliter. As complements to the annual Festivals, lectures, panel discussions, and master classes by seasoned professionals in music have stimulated our performers and audiences
Mission
Patrons of Exceptional Artists was established in 1997 as a 501(c)(3) publicly supported organization dedicated to developing the careers of future great performing artists. Since then, the institution has carried the ancient labor of "artist patronage," helping the development and establishment of the professional careers of several hundred musicians over the past 26 years.
To enrich its mission, in 1998, Patrons of Exceptional Artists branched out to create the now-celebrated Miami International Piano Festivals and Academy, where students experience the hands-on immersion of working closely with an outstanding international faculty. In the winter, the MIPFA takes place at the beautiful Cadet Hotel in Miami Beach, and in the summer at the Gustav Mahler Cultural Center in Dobbiaco, Italy, a gateway to the Dolomites, about which Mahler wrote, “Dobbiaco is extraordinary: it tempers your body and soul.”
We have also expanded our outreach through an online state-of-the-art virtual platform that continues to evolve, creating an archive and visual library of all MIPF activities. The goal is to provide global exposure to our artists while allowing music lovers worldwide to enjoy our concerts, lectures, and masterclasses. The Miami International Piano Festival concerts are interactive experiences that engage our audiences and enhance their appreciation of music in its infinite prism of ideas and emotions.
