The Shanghai International Performance Arts Festival (SIPAF) Shanghai 2026 provided an exceptional opportunity for young Indonesian musicians to experience international performance, learning, and cultural exchange in one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.
Held from April 3–6, 2026, in Shanghai, China, the festival brought together talented young performers through a series of activities designed to support their artistic growth, including practice sessions, masterclasses, competitions, and an award ceremony.
More than just a competition, SIPAF Shanghai 2026 became a valuable journey of learning, preparation, and achievement for every participant.
A Musical Journey in Shanghai
Known as one of China’s leading cultural and artistic centers, Shanghai offered participants the opportunity to perform in a professional international environment while experiencing a new culture and atmosphere.

Preparation is an essential part of every successful performance.
To help participants feel comfortable before the competition, FIMO provided dedicated practice rooms where participants could rehearse alongside their parents or teachers. Each participant received 30 minutes of practice time with access to both upright and grand pianos.
These practice sessions allowed participants to familiarize themselves with the instruments and environment, helping them build confidence and perform at their best during the competition.

The masterclass provided personalized guidance and feedback, allowing participants to refine their musical interpretation, technique, and overall performance.

This educational component became an important complement to the competition experience, encouraging participants to continue learning and growing through music.
