Gilmore Young Artist Award

The Gilmore Young Artist Award is presented every four years to single out the most promising of the new generation of pianists, age 24 and younger. Nominations are made by music professionals from around the world, and an anonymous selection committee evaluates the nominees over a period of time. Candidates for the Award are unaware that they are under consideration.

Each Gilmore Young Artist receives a $25,000 stipend to further their musical career and educational development. This Award is strictly monetary and advisory and does not involve managerial assistance from The Gilmore.

Started in 1990, the most recent are 2024 Gilmore Young Artists Kasey Shao and Harmony Zhu, named in 2023.
