International Association of Art “The Muse” has been hosting the International Piano Competition since 2005, which takes place on one of the most beautiful islands in Greece - Santorini. Every September, tourists and residents of this island have had wonderful opportunities to listen to young pianists from around the globe. More than 100 pianists, representing European Union, Russia, USA, Japan, Korea, among other countries, have taken part in the competition during these last four years. We are glad to acknowledge that many of them have now become successful performers and can be heard on concert stages around the world.

Starting from 2009, the association shall additionally host a new contest – International Competition for Young Musicians “The Muse Junior”. It will be open for younger participants in categories of piano, violin, and cello. We sincerely believe that this music event shall discover new talents and aid in their future artistic development.

The auditions of the competition are held in the concert hall - Megaro Gyzi in Santorini Greece. This mansion, beautiful combination of architecture style of the island and barocco, was built in the 17th century. It has been recently restored and given new uses to make it once more part of the life of the island. Every summer Megaro Gyzi hosts cultural events including music festivals, theatrical performances, exhibitions, and from 2005 – International Competition "The Muse"!
