The 13TH Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition, which promotes the careers of young and outstanding pianists, will take place this May in Tel Aviv.

The Arthur Rubinstein Award and other prizes are presented to young master pianists, whose talents reveal outstanding musicianship as well as the ability to render versatile, artistically convincing interpretations of works, ranging from the pre-classical to the contemporary.

This year, the competition will feature compositions written by two prominent Israeli composers whose works were never performed in previous Rubinstein Competitions: Paul Ben Haim (1897–1984) and Josef Tal (1910–2008).
