ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL STEINWAY FESTIVAL
The Steinway Festival, established in 1987, is a prestigious biennial event organized by Steinway & Sons in Hamburg, Germany. This festival aims to identify, encourage, and promote young pianists in the formative stages of their careers. Every two years, selected pianists from various regions are invited to Hamburg to participate in an exciting program, offering valuable opportunities for cultural exchange and musical growth. The festival provides these young talents with the experience of performing on stage without the pressure of competition, fostering a supportive and inspiring environment.
THE COMPETITION
The competition seeks to identify, nurture, and promote young aspiring pianists in the development stages of their careers. In the national competitions, local Steinway dealers will administer countrywide auditions in the following Asian countries: Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam (Auditions for China and Japan are managed under separate auspices).
