The Clara Haskil Piano Competition (French: Concours international de piano Clara Haskil) was founded in 1963 in order to honour and perpetuate the memory the Romanian-Swiss pianist Clara Haskil.
It takes place every two years in Vevey where Clara Haskil resided from 1942 until her death in Brussels in 1960.
The competition benefits from the collaboration with Radio Television Suisse Espace 2, and from the generous sponsorship of the Fondation Nestle pour l'Art, Leenards Foundation, Loterie Romande, Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation, Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch & Cie Bank, the towns and communities of Vevey, Montreux, La Tour-de-Peilz, Blonay, Chardonne, Corseaux, Corsier, Jongny, and several commercial companies.
The members of a circle of private donors, founded in 1999, also support the activities of the Clara Haskil Competition.
The final, broadcast by Radio Suisse Romande Espace 2 and by Radio Télévision Suisse, is part of the Montreux-Vevey International Festival of Opera and Music.
