The first three competition rounds, as well as festival events, will be hosted on the campus of SMU, where participants will also reside throughout their time in Dallas.
For the final round, three pianists will perform full concertos with the renowned Dallas Symphony Orchestra at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center.
