2018年第19屆日本亞洲肖邦國際鋼琴比賽
肖邦音樂，以他的優美華麗，深受全世界音樂愛好者的熱愛。我們主辦這個音樂比賽的最大目的，是通過肖邦音樂的比賽，發掘培育具有世界水準的優秀鋼琴演奏家、架起了波蘭和亞洲之間的文化之橋;同時，通過肖邦音樂的比賽竟演，增加亞洲地域的年輕音樂愛好者的交流，普及提高地域的音樂文化。
年輕的鋼琴家們可以根據個人實力選擇參加的組項，各大中小學，各協奏曲組，甚至業餘組。為了方便世界各地選手的參與，組委會規定：日本地區以外的其他國家，選手不用經過一二輪的預賽，直接通過錄音審查進行試聽篩選，通過合格的選手直接進入決賽，這為選手提供了更有利的條件，因為日本地區(去年日本國內的地區預賽39賽區3500人次)。每一屆日本亞洲肖邦比賽都會帶給選手非常大的收穫。另外，亞洲肖邦國際鋼琴比賽在每屆波蘭華沙大賽前一年都有一個推薦賽，每次亞洲肖邦比賽組委會推薦去的選手都可以通過華沙預賽，最近兩屆推薦賽中我們的選手中一個獲得第4名，一個第6名。中國選手在亞洲肖邦國際鋼琴比賽中取得了非常驕人的成績。
2009年第13屆範·克萊本國際鋼琴比賽的金獎得主張昊辰曾在13歲時(2004年)參加在日本舉行的第五屆亞洲肖邦比賽挑戰無年齡限制的肖邦鋼琴協奏曲組比賽，與大學生、研究生等成年選手角逐，不僅獲得了比賽金獎，還獲得了組委會和評委會特殊頒發的三項特別獎，並送他去波蘭跟世界著名的樂團合作音樂會，去了費城，從此走向的世界。
2012年13屆亞洲肖邦國際鋼琴比賽中，來自中央音樂學院的郝博以精湛的技術和對肖邦音樂的完美演繹征服了評委，從3000多名參賽選手中脫穎而出，獲得了專業組銀獎(金獎空缺)。華沙國際鋼琴比賽評委會主席亞辛斯基非常欣慰額邀請他參加2015年波蘭華沙鋼琴比賽。得獎後不久去了波士頓他們都很有才華，也會爭取機會,所以，音樂的世界裏，為自己的夢想爭取一次機會。
