Prizes worth 10,000 euros were awarded by the Carl Bechstein Foundation at the winners’ concert of the fourth Carl Bechstein Competition for Children and Young People in the Kulturstall of Schloss Britz in Berlin. For the first time, the competition was announced for the solo piano category. And with more than 60 entries from all over Germany, the competition achieved a record number of participants.
A total of 17 young prize winners aged eight to 17 years played works from Bach to Rachmaninov at the prize winners’ concert in the Kulturstall. Outstanding performances were to be admired by the prize winners of all four age groups. The response of the participants to the four works commissioned by the Carl Bechstein Foundation, which were premiered, was particularly gratifying: a total of 23 participants played “The Girl and the Mountain” by Vasiliki Kourti-Papamoustou, the “Planetary Pictures” by Konstantin Dupelius, “Cassiopeia” by Meike Senker and “What is Order already?” by Sascha Thiele at the competition. The young composers had been selected by the Foundation in cooperation with the association “Neues Zeug”.
