ABOUT INTERNATIONAL STEINWAY FESTIVAL
The festival is a biennial event organised by Steinway & Sons in Hamburg, Germany. Since 1987, the much anticipated International Steinway Festival takes place every two years in Hamburg, Germany. Young pianists from different countries of the world come together for a musical congregation, also known as a “Laeiszhalle”. Programs such as harbour tour or an exclusive visit to the Steinway Factory would be amongst the many highlights of the festival; where an important aspect of the festival is for these young talents to experience the culture of performing on stage, without having competition pressure.
