FERRUCCIO BUSONI INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION Bolzano, Italy
WFIMC Founding Member
Founded in 1949, the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition is rich in both tradition and innovation, and is regarded as one of the most successful institutions of its kind. Its biennial structure includes the Glocal Piano Project and final stages that are both intensively followed by audiences worldwide. The Glocal Piano Project of the 65th Busoni Competition was held in 12 cities around the world in 2024 in a hybrid format (live and online streaming). In 2025 the competition’s final stage will see the invitation to Bolzano of an outstanding group of finalists, performing solo, with the Simply Quartet and with the Haydn Orchestra. The competition is firmly against any nationalist appropriation or political propaganda and instead promotes an understanding of musicians as Weltbürger, independent transnational citizens, in the spirit of its namesake Ferruccio Busoni.
