Peabody Mason International Piano Competition

The early Peabody Mason Piano Competitions were organized by Fanny Peabody Mason's longtime friend, pianist Paul Doguereau.

The grand prize winner received a yearly stipend plus a New York and a Boston recital.

The competition’s rich heritage, its intermittent nature, and its generous prize have led to a significant reputation and a certain cachet for the award.

After the death of Paul Doguereau in 2000,[1][2][3][4] his adopted son, Harrison Slater, assumed the mantle of Artistic Director and continues the tradition of the Peabody Mason International Piano Competition with an international event for the 2010 Chopin year (200th anniversary of his birth).
