The International M. K. Čiurlionis Piano and Organ Competition was held in Vilnius on September 14-23, 2011; an event that traditionally, every four years, invites to Lithuania performers from all over the world.

The competition named after Mikalojus Kostantinas Čiurlionis is one of the major music events in Lithuania, fostering the timeless musical legacy of the Lithuanian genius. New professional music talents constantly emerge at the competition; it also promotes works by contemporary Lithuanian composers.

In 2011, the International M.K. Čiurlionis Piano and Organ Competition marked the 100th death anniversary of the world-renowned musician and painter M.K. Čiurlionis (1875–1911).

The Competition is organized by The International Cultural Programme Centre, The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania and the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater.
