Anja German (piano)About
The First Manchester International Concerto Competition for Young Pianists was held in August 2007 in Manchester Cathedral, offering young pianists the rare and exciting opportunity to perform a concerto with an outstanding professional orchestra. Each applicant had to prepare and submit on DVD a complete performance of one of the standard romantic or classical piano concertos. From an initial number of pianists who entered from twenty countries, twenty-four young semifinalists were invited to come to Manchester to perform (twelve pianists in the 16 and under section and twelve in the 22 and under). After performing their concertos with piano accompaniment at Chetham’s School of Music, four finalists were chosen to perform their concertos with Manchester Camerata under Stephen Threlfall.
The competition was an unusual event in that every member of the jury was a well established concert pianist. In this respect it looked back to an earlier era of musical history, when the majority of jurors in piano competitions were players rather than teachers or critics. But the emphasis of the competition, which received a tremendous amount of encouragement and positive feedback from audiences, professional musicians, the media, teachers and participants themselves, is forward looking. It emphasises the positive for every young pianist who chooses to enter.
Anja German is from Slovenia and is currently studying at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. In addition to her success in the first Manchester International Concerto Competition she has recently won prizes at the National Competition in Slovenia, the European Piano Teachers Association International Competition and the ZF Musikpreis International Competition in Germany.
