Background:
Krainev International Competition was founded by renowned pianist Vladimir Krainev (1944-2011) in his native town Kharkov in Ukraine in 1992. In over 20 years of existence it attracted many talented children from all Europe and Asian countries, who later demonstrated their excellence winning the most prestigious competitions and making a distinguished international career.
In 2014 under the artistic direction of Alexander Romanovsky the competition featured a number of unique aspects such as transparent voting system, while established relations with prestigious conservatoires, concert agencies and festivals will play an active part in creating a solid foundation for the professional future of the competitors. Unforgettable concerts, master classes and meetings involving talented youths in the presence of outstanding musicians will be both inspiring and motivating for the young artists.Last updated: 06.04.2017
