Thus, the "International Piano Competition for Young Pianists Kronberg" is also intended to be a place of encounter and understanding, in addition to the idea of competition.
We as organizers "International Piano Competition Taunus e. V." are very pleased to be guests at the Casals Forum!
The Casals Forum
The Casals Forum, newly built by Kronberg Academy and scheduled to open in September 2022, offers exceptional acoustics, facilities and atmosphere for musicians and audiences alike.
The famous cellist and humanist Pablo Casals is the namesake of this forum, who was particularly committed to peace and freedom. "Music, this wonderful world language, should be a source of understanding among all people" - this deep conviction of Casals of the connection between art and humanity finds its expression in this forum.
The premises
The competition will take place in the Carl Bechstein Hall (around 150 seats) and the prizewinners' concert in the large Chamber Music Hall (around 550 seats).
Both halls meet the highest acoustic and musical standards.
Participants also have access to four rehearsal rooms with grand pianos in the immediate vicinity of the Carl Bechstein Hall.
The instruments
On stage, participants in both halls will have access to an outstanding new C. Bechstein D 282 concert grand piano. Both grand pianos were selected by renowned pianists from Kronberg Academy to suit the acoustics and size of the hall.
The four recording rooms contain 2 C. Bechstein B 212 and 2 C. Bechstein Academy grand pianos are available.
