The Kissinger Piano Olympics from 30th of september till the 3rd of october 2021
Six highly talented, young pianists among the outstanding, new talents in Europe are invited to Bad Kissingen every year to introduce themselves to the jury and the Kissingen audience with their own program. They are all winners of national and international competitions. Because of the rules for hygiene during the Corona pandemic all secen concerts of 2020 took place in the magnificent Regentenbau of the Munich Architect Max Littmann in the Max-Littmann-Saal. After the final concert at Sunday evening the winners were announced.
All participants of the Kissinger Piano Olympics are then invited to the next Kissinger Sommer. The first place plays solo with an orchestra while the remaining pianists perform two solo recitals. An expert jury chooses the award winners and those in the audience who visited all concerts can give their vote for an audience price.
Even after the competition in autumn the Kissinger Sommer supports the pianists of the Piano Olympics. Through cooperation with other organizers the young award winners are sure to be involved in artistic endeavors besides the Kissinger Sommer.
