Prepare for the Final Round of the 26th Biennial Piano FVG International Piano Competition, this year hosted at the prestigious Teatro Zancanaro in Sacile.

Organized by the Piano FVG Association, under the artistic direction of Davide Fregona—and realized with the Municipality of Sacile, the Region, and the Friuli Foundation—in its more than twenty-year history, the Competition highlights emerging keyboard talent.

The performances will be evaluated by a highly artistic international jury, composed of world-renowned pianists and teachers: Anna Kravtchenko, President of the Jury; Fu Hong, Giuseppe Andaloro, Jean Marc Luisada, Roberto Prosseda, Nataliya Trull, and Carles Lama.
