On April 9th the International Piano Forum will assign the 8th International German Piano Award in Frankfurt am Main. The nomination-jury consisting of Prof. Paul-Badura Skoda, Prof. Paul Dan and Prof. Bernd Goetzke gave a great contribution to find extraordinary talents, who applied numerously from all around the world (from Siberia to Australia) for a nomination for the 8th International German Piano Award. Under the supervision of a notary, six particularly outstanding pianists were nominated for April 2018. Already now those pianists are praised by the press internationally and nationally for their passion, noblesse, charme and proficiency.
