THE DIAPASON
The 2012 Miami International Organ Competition takes place March 2 at the Church of the Epiphany, Miami, Florida, sponsored by Fratelli Ruffatti and the Church of the Epiphany.
This final round will be in the form of a concert, with interaction from a live audience (the judges will be behind a screen). Prizes are as follows: 1st place, $5,000 and an invitation to appear in the 2012–13 series at Epiphany Church; 2nd place, $2,500; 3rd place, $1,500; and audience prize, $500.
Each contestant will play a 25-minute program, one work of which to be based on plainchant. The competition instrument is a three-manual, twin-console, 61-rank organ built by Fratelli Ruffatti in 2001.
