Amateur class: HEATS RESULTS

In the past 4 days, we have had the joy of sharing music from the homes of over 80 young pianists from 5 to 17 years old during this circuit breaker period through the live stream format. An unprecedented feat for a piano competition. Even participants who are not able to be in Singapore due to travel restrictions were still able to participate because of this format. 

For those of us who are new to the Steinway Youth Piano Competition, this is the first time for Singapore and for Southeast Asia that an Amateur class is introduced to the competition. The Amateur Class is for students who enjoy playing the piano for leisure but wish to have a formal recognition of their progress in their musical journey. This is also, very possibly the first time, probably anywhere around the world, that a piano competition is held entirely live streamed.

So now, after four days of intense piano playing and joyous music making, Steinway Gallery Singapore is proud to present the following  young talents who have successfully advanced to the Grand Finals of the 5th Steinway Youth Piano Competition that will take place on 30 May 2020 . The First Prize winner of the competition will have the opportunity  to participate as an observer in the International Steinway festival 2020 in Hamburg, Germany.
