It’s the “thank you” that makes the “please” complete.
Klaus Seibold
Our great joy at the success of our second event is accompanied by a deep sense of gratitude!
Without our partners, supporters, and sponsors—and without their deep commitment to the long-term development of young pianists—there would be no piano competition, no prizes, no winners’ concert, no audio or video recordings, no follow-up concerts, no supporting program…. The list of what has been made possible by their help is long!
Their substantial financial commitment is the foundation of our competition and helps us continue to expand it in order to provide ever more comprehensive support for our highly gifted young talents.
For that, we say a heartfelt “Thank you”!
Thank you for being willing to listen to us. Thank you for your open ears and your participation! Thank you for your passion and keen interest in supporting young pianists, as well as in music and culture. Together, we made this event a reality; together, we set the tone. We motivated and inspired, and brought piano music of the highest caliber with international appeal to Kronberg.
A heartfelt thank you to our partners!

Spotlight on Our Sponsors
And last but not least, we'd like to thank our sponsors for their fantastic collaboration!
- Hansen und Heinrich AG in Frankfurt, a renowned, bank-independent asset manager, supported us in financing three special prizes, including the follow-up concerts at the Weilburg Castle Concerts and the Augustinum Senior Residence.
- Falke, a family-owned company world-renowned for its exclusive hosiery, sponsored the production of our award-winners' concert, which was broadcast via livestream.
Through their commitment, they are all taking on social responsibility. Supporting young musicians is a priority for them and aligns with their corporate culture and values. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to ganz for this!
After the competition is before the competition! Don't miss the next newsletter, where we'll announce the date of our third event in 2027!
Until then, we hope you have a wonderful summer!
