The festival is an important biennial event sponsored by Steinway & Sons in Hamburg, Germany. Its purpose is to identify, encourage, and promote young pianists in the formative stages of their careers. In 2012 various countries will be running national level auditions to determine representatives for Hamburg. Here in Asia a regional audition--hosted by Steinway Gallery Singapore and involving finalists from 8 nations--promises to be one of the largest events of its kind, offering prizes and an opportunity for its 1st prize winner to appear in concert alongside representatives from several European nations.
The 8 Asian nations taking part in this national competition are: Taiwan, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, & Singapore. Each country will select one winner who will perform in the Steinway Regional Finals in Singapore.
Thailand's first Steinway Youth Piano Competition is open to all eligible pianists in Thailand. The competition allows talented young pianists to develop and enhance performing experience as well as to gain exposure to compete at an international level.
