Friends of the Busoni Piano Competition

The Association of the Friends of the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition was founded in 2009. Open to enthusiasts of all ages, the Association is currently made up mainly of admirers of the Competition who, feeling a connection to the work of the Busoni Foundation, have decided to support it.
The Association’s objectives are to provide support and financial backing for the activities organised by the Ferruccio Busoni Competition Foundation, which have been realised over the years through contributions to the Mentoring Program and the International Critics’ Prize (2011 and 2013).

Become a Friend of the Busoni Competition today!

Friends have the opportunity to experience the competition from a unique perspective, often gaining a behind-the-scenes insight, hosting the competitors during the final stages of the competition, and meeting the stars of the international piano world in person. Alongside the activities organised by the Foundation, the Friends’ Association itself organises events centred on a love of the piano, such as excursions and private concerts.
