Thursday the field narrowed to eight competitors and will go down to five pianists for the finals at the San Antonio International Piano Competition.
Emily Townsend is the Piano Technician for Trinity University and working closely for the piano competition. During the first round she spoke to host John Clare about her duties, but was interrupted for an issue with an instrument! She returned after having to clean keys for a contestant performing next. The competition will resume on Saturday, October 20th and a final recital on Sunday, October 21st. Masterclasses, and receptions will also take place Sunday.
