The event marks a second year of international collaborations for Le Foyer des Artistes with the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Forlì Cultura and Musica Insieme in Italy. The winner will travel to Budapest in March to play a concert at the famous Franz Liszt Memorial Hall in May and to Bologna in June to play at the Museo Civico Medievale

The Award winner will perform Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Le Foyer des Artistes at the Summer Concert on 18 June 2025.
