After having to cancel the 2020 competition due to Covid 19 restrictions we are delighted to be inviting entries for the
2021 Norah Sande Award and are also looking forward to welcoming back our audience of loyal supporters.
NEW this year as part of the first prize is a second performance opportunity for the winner.

The 2021 Norah Sande Award is open to PIANISTS who are aged 18 to 25 (inclusive) on 1st July 2021 who were born, or who are resident, training or working in Kent, Sussex, Surrey or the London postal area.
The Norah Sande Award has been enabled by a substantial bequest from the late Norah Sande, in memory of her Grandmother, Alice Mary Caffin. Its object (and the wish of the legatee) is to encourage and support young musicians at the commencement of their careers.
