Emergence Classical has its debut presenting the winners of the 2009 Seattle International Piano Festival and Competition.

This new entry into world-class piano competitions was begun in 2008.  Unique among competitions around the world, the SIPF piano competition encourages pianists of all ages to seek his or her personal niche and voice, with the freedom to select repertoire without specific requirements.

The final round of the second annual Seattle International Piano Festival will take place October 10, 2009 at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington. The winners of the final round will be offered the chance to be presented on Emergence Classical in a compilation CD, with some winners selected to present a full album recital.

The debut recordings are produced in conjunction with The Piano Studio, a Seattle recording studio specializing in piano-based recordings.
