The NTD International Piano Competition (NIPC), the only world-class piano event organized by a global television network, New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television, proudly announces its seventh edition. The competition will be held at Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center in New York City from October 15 to 19, 2024, dedicated exclusively to preserving and revitalizing classical piano music. This prestigious event celebrates the magnificent legacy of Western culture and aims to restore the splendor of piano masterpieces from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods.

What makes the NIPC more unique is the specially commissioned composition “Holy Grace”, which will be played by semifinalists on October 17. Just as its precedents, this year’s commissioned piece is also arranged from a music piece by D. F., the artistic director of Shen Yun Performing Arts, a world-renowned music and dance company that has led the way in the revival of traditional Chinese culture through the arts. Inheriting the characteristics of the music of Shen Yun, “Holy Grace” features the perfect harmony of Eastern and Western classical music.

Join on this beautiful journey as we listen to soul-stirring melodies prepared over lifetimes.

Commission Composition: HOLY GRACE (arr. Qin Yuan)
