2026 SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION JURY

This year, the SIPF is proud to invite a stunning array of guest artists and master teachers to join the 2026 jury. Note that jurors are selected from the following list for each category of the 2026 competition on a case by case basis in order to avoid any conflict of interest.

2026 PRELIMINARY LISTENING COMMITTEE POOL

This section will be updated as members are added to the pool. Committees are not assigned until all applications have been collected and processed. At that time, committees are formed and assigned to specific categories. Jurors are not assigned to any committee in which a current or former student may be participating. In some instances, the listed members of the pool below may not be assigned to a committee.
