It was admitted as a member of the Federation of International Music Competitions in 1978, and is presented in association with the University of Sydney and with the co-operation of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. From the September 2007 SIPCA Newsletter, Claire Dan AM, OBE wrote:

The opening recital of the 2008 Competition will be given by John Chen - The 1st Prizewinner of the 2004 Competition. John Chen performed at Somerset College in our 2006 International Master Musicians Series. John is the youngest ever winner of the Sydney International Piano Competition. He mesmerized our audience with his keyboard prowess at such a young age.

Somerset College is proud to be associated with the Competition and will be privileged to host the concert for the winner each four years. Please join us in supporting our 2008 Winner who we are proud to present to you for your musical enjoyment.
