Winners of the 2012 Concours Géza Anda A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Although he was allotted only a short life, the memory of great Hungarian pianist Géza Anda (1921–1976) remains very much alive to this day. One of the greatest geniuses of the piano of the last century, he was equally famed as a professor of music and a patron of young talented artists, thus it is truly worthy that his memory should be preserved not only by the very many recordings of his but also by a pianist competition. The Géza Anda International Piano Competition organized in Zurich every three years, and the foundation that lies behind this, not only offer a significant cash prize to the top three in the competition, but also the opportunity to think of a career in the long-term. Géza Anda, one-time student of Kodály, Weiner and Dohnányi, and the pride of the Liszt Academy, is celebrated with a three-day series of events in the concert halls of the Liszt Academy. In fact, the opening concert sees the three most recent, 2012, winners of the competition perform, accompanied by András Keller and Concerto Budapest, the resident orchestra of the Liszt Academy.
