Piano+ is all things piano. It is an exciting new company emerging from the almost 50-year-old Sydney International Piano Competition (The Sydney). Piano+ is an essential resource for pianists and concert goers nationally, fostering the joy of piano-playing and provide opportunities for music education.
Over five decades, The Sydney has been in the international keyboard spotlight and has nurtured the very best of young international and Australian pianists. It has provided opportunities for Australian audiences to hear great talent, not only in Sydney, but in many places around the country. Now, Piano+ will take on those responsibilities, will offer further musical experiences annually and will present The Sydney itself on a triennial basis.
Piano+ is a presentation and production company with The Sydney the jewel in its presenting crown. It will offer regional tours for competition winners and extend existing education and outreach programs, supporting and encouraging the composition of new Australian works for the piano.
We were delighted to sponsor the extraordinary Jeonghwan Kim to travel from Germany to participate in the Sydney in 2023. And he won First Prize!! We can’t wait to see what this brilliant young man does next!
