The Horowitz Memorial International Young Pianists’ Contest

The future development of the Ukrainian culture depends in many ways on the ability of the state and society to support young artists and help them to reveal their talents. In part, this concerns various schools and trends in the classic music. It is highly important that we preserve and continue great traditions that had been created in Ukraine for many decades.

In 2005, having in purpose to develop piano music in Ukraine, the Foundation became co-organizer of the Volodymyr Horowitz Memorial International Young Pianists’ Contest.

In the last decade the musical forum commemorating one of the twentieth century’s most outstanding pianists has become one of the central events in Ukraine’s cultural life and has gained global popularity.
