Yukine Kuroki is applauded by the President of Ireland as she receives her prize.

"Kuroki made the grand piano sound like a symphony orchestra, so many colors and volumes. Breathtaking."  — Eindhovens Dagblad

For over 30 years, the Dublin International Piano Competition (DIPC) has brought the world’s top young pianists to Ireland to compete. In addition to a generous cash prize, winners are presented at Carnegie Hall for their debut recital. On October 29, 2024 at 7:30 pm, the 2022 winner of the DIPC Yukine Kuroki performs her U.S. debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.

Kuroki's recital features Romantic era favorites including Rachmaninov's Second Piano Sonata, Stravinsky/Agosti's Firebird Suite, and Debussy's l'Isle Joyeuse, plus works by Kapustin, Saint-Saens, Schumann, and Tokuyama.
