Listen or watch live performances from Montreal International Piano Competition finals tonight

It's day 9 of the Montreal International Piano Competition, featuring the second of two nights devoted to the six finalists.

Last night, the performers with the Orchestra Métropolitain under Jean-François Rivest were American Henry Kramer, South Korean Zheeyoung Moon and Italian Beatrice Rana.

Tonight, it's a trio of 23-year-olds: American Lindsay Garritson, Russian Yulia Chaplina and South Korean Jong Ho Won. All together the three concerts make for an exciting programme: Garritson tackles Prokofiev's Second, Chaplina Rachmaninov's Second, and Won ends with Liszt's First.

The jury deliberates tonight and should be able to announce the laureates by about 10:40 p.m.

You can listen to the competition on Radio-Canada's Espace Musique, starting at 7:30 p.m. (In Toronto, the station sits at 90.3 FM)

Thanks to the competition's international profile, France's medici.tv has picked up tonight's concert for live streaming on the web, also starting at 7:30 p.m. EDT
