The Finals
For the last ten days, nearly 100 pianists from 27 countries have been competing in the preliminary rounds of this famous competition. Now just the six finalists remain. Each of them will play a complete concerto with orchestra: three play tonight; three tomorrow night.
BBC2 covers both these concerts live and at 10.45 pm tomorrow night will be returning to Leeds for the announcement of the winner.
Apart from a prize of £2,000 and the Princess Mary Gold Medal , the winner will receive over 70 offers of engagements - and the prestige of winning one of the world's most important music awards. The very first winner (in 1963) was Michael Roll, who is this year a member of the jury - together with such famous music personalities as Artur Balsam, Louis Kentner, Nikita Magaloff, Phyllis Sellick and Rosalyn Tureck.
Chairman of the Jury is Lord Boyle of Handsworth

Innocent Slaughter?
Next month 1,800 grey seals round Scotland will be killed by order of the British Government. Every year thousands of harp seals are clubbed to death on the frozen pack ice off the eastern coast of Canada. Seal hunts provide a living for isolated groups of fishermen and skins for the fur trade around the world.
Vehement protests have been mounted to try to stop the hunt in Canada on the grounds that it is cruel, unnecessary and is driving the seals to extinction. But the hunt goes on. Horizon went to Canada, Norway and the northern coasts of Britain to collect evidence on both sides.
The argument is by no means clear-cut. The hunters are just as passionate as their opponents. Various humane methods of killing have been tried. But who else benefits from the hunt and how many seals are there left? Narrator VALENTINE PALMER
