Concours Géza Anda
The Concours Géza Anda is a piano competition that has been held every three years in Zurich since 1979 and was created by the Géza Anda Foundation to commemorate the legacy of the great pianist Géza Anda.
The 15th Concours Géza Anda will be held in 2021 to commemorate Géza Anda on the occasion of his 100th anniversary. It will take place in Winterthur and Zurich from May 27th to June 5th, 2021.
The Géza Anda Foundation was created in 1978 by Hortense Anda-Bührle (1926 – 2014) in memory of her husband, the pianist Géza Anda (1921 –1976). Since the death of its founder, their son Gratian Anda has taken up his mother’s legacy and supports the Foundation to ensure that its work continues.
The aim of the Géza Anda Foundation is to promote young, talented pianists in the musical spirit of Géza Anda, and to this end it holds an international piano competition every three years. The Concours Géza Anda is a unique and extraordinary institution among the countless competitions that exist – and not just because of its distinguished jury, which comprises outstanding members of the music world.
