The Little Lev's Inaugural Australian National Piano Competition for Children 2025
Kawai has proudly partnered with the The Lev Vlassenko Piano Academy to present The Little Lev’s Australian National Piano Competition for Children (ANPCC) in 2025. This exciting new initiative for young pianists, piano teachers, and music lovers throughout Australia and New Zealand, will include a collection of competitions, performances, masterclasses, and educational activities for you pianists.
This inaugural Australian National Piano Competition for Children has been inspired by the Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition which has been running for over 25 years. The corresponding Little Lev Academy Festival, started in 2023, demonstrated that there was a significant need for a junior equivalent of the main Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition, and so the Little Lev Academy created this national competition for promising young pianist. This will be the first time a competition with a single piano focus for young pianist will be held at this scale across Australia and New Zealand.
The Competition has been designed as a holistic music education and developmental experience to encourage and support proficiency and mastery of the piano in children aged 6 to 13. It will also provide a unique opportunity for the best new talent in Australia and New Zealand to fully realise their creative potential. Applicants will interact with some of the highest calibre national and international musical minds who will focus on the unique talent of each young musician.
