The music

Founded in 1995, the International Competition for Young Pianists in Memory of Vladimir Horowitz commemorates the eminent Ukrainian artist and legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz, who was born and educated in Kyiv. Considered one of Ukraine's great cultural institutions, the Horowitz Competition promotes international exchanges, friendship and dialogue in a context of artistic excellence, fairness and equality.
As the current situation does not allow the event to take place in Kyiv, the World Federation of International Music Competitions has decided to support the Horowitz Competition and invite it to be held in Geneva.
