___Programme

This year’s edition attracted a total of 160 submissions from 46 countries ranging across all the world’s continents, and the jury ended up selecting 16 of them to be played in the final round. Approximately one fifth of these piano pieces were composed by women. This year’s jury consisted of Michael Jarrell, Elena Mendoza, Isabel Mundry, Miroslav Srnka, and Marco Stroppa. Mendoza, who had taken part in the preliminary selection with all of her fellow jury members, was unfortunately unable to make the final round. Jarrell, Srnka, Stroppa, and jury discussion moderator Johannes Marian were personally present in the hall, while Isabel Mundry always participated virtually.
