The winners of the 5th International Online Piano and Pipe Organ Contest of the Festival 4 Arts / Festivalul de Arte are listed in the tables below. Some competitors particularly impressed us. The jury was highly demanding in their evaluations, resulting in varied scores across participants. However, the Festival’s Trophy and the Grand Prix were awarded unanimously and independently by the jury.

As organizers, our goal is to recognize the dedication and effort of young musicians, so we have awarded competitors across a broader range. The list follows the order of scores received, from highest to lowest.

This year’s contest brought together 104 competitors from 13 countries across 3 continents, including participants from Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Poland, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Finland, Ukraine, Belarus, the USA, and Japan. We are deeply grateful for such a diverse and talented group of participants.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to each contestant, their families, and their teachers for their dedication to musical excellence. Congratulations to all!

We wish you continued success and growth in your musical journey. (Pentru română apăsați butonul „Translate” stânga sus.)
