2nd International Piano Academy with Janina Fialkowska - highly successful participants
06.09.2011In 2010 Janina Fialkowska held the first international piano academy in Marktoberdorf. Six exceptional young pianists were fortunate enough to be invited to work for four days with the great Artist. Janina Fialkowska’s instincts in her choice of unusual talents was proved correct by the subsequent triumphs of two of the participants: one month after the academy French pianist Francois Dumont won the 5th prize at the prestigious Frédéric Chopin piano competition in Warsaw, probably one of the most important piano competitions in the world today (he was one of 350 accepted applicants of the competition). Just recently German pianist Alexander Schimpf won a unanimous First Prize at the United States’ most important international piano competition in Cleveland. He wowed not only the jurors and critics but also received the “Audience Prize”.
The participants for this year’s master classes are Anzhelika Fuchs from the Ukraine, Violetta Khachikian from Russia, Tamar Beraia from Georgia and Leonard Gilbert from Canada. They are all at the onset of promising careers and were hand-picked by Janina Fialkowska. Judge them for yourself and enjoy the unique concert experiences with these young talents.
