Welcome to Settenote
Home of the Settenote Online Piano International Competition (SOPIC) and, arriving in July 2026, the Trieste International Piano Festival!
Settenote is dedicated to promoting the study of music and fostering a vibrant musical culture by creating new avenues for performance and artistic expression. Guided by a commitment to nurturing musicians of all ages, Settenote seeks to provide opportunities for growth, creativity, and connection. The name “sette note”—Italian for “seven notes”—reflects both the geography of the piano keyboard and the enduring centrality of the keyboard in the history of Western music.
