What Is ISANGYUN International Music Competition?
The ISANGYUN Competition is an active international classical-music competition presented by the Tongyeong International Music Foundation in memory of composer Isang Yun. It rotates annually among piano, violin and cello. The 2026 discipline is piano, not all three instruments at once.
The 2026 edition is open to pianists of every nationality born from November 1, 1996 through October 31, 2011. That age window includes a small number of exceptionally advanced high-school-age musicians, but the competition is primarily pre-professional and young-professional rather than a general high-school enrichment program. Applications closed at 11:59 p.m. Korea Standard Time on July 31, 2026.
