About
The Mahidol International Piano Festival 2026, hosted by the College of Music at Mahidol University, is a high-level summer program for pianists. Running from July 24 to August 2, 2026, the festival aims to cultivate future pianists through intense conservatory training and modern tools. It offers three tracks: Young Artist Residency (ages 8-29) for those preparing for auditions and competitions, a Teaching Fellow Program for educators, and a Family & Friends Program for observers. Young Artist applicants must submit an audition and pay a 2,500 Bht application fee, with tuition at 45,000 Bht, including lunch and dinner. Scholarships are available based on merit. Teaching Fellows pay 16,000 Bht tuition, with waivers for those bringing three or more students. The program emphasizes professional recording, digital portfolio building, and sustainable artistic practice, with access to Mahidol University's facilities. The application deadline for Young Artists is April 30, 2026, and for Teaching Fellows is June 1, 2026.
