    Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation

    The Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition began as the Brigham Young University Summer Piano Festival and international competition hosted by Brigham Young University as part of the Summer Piano Festival for a five-year period (1976-1980). The name of Gina Bachauer was given to the competition in honor of the great Greek pianist who was a celebrated favorite of Utah audiences and appeared with Maurice Abravanel and the Utah Symphony in concert during eight subscription concerts. In 1980, the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition relocated to Salt Lake City under the patronage of the Utah Symphony. The competition was held on a biennial schedule, every other year, during the month of June. During this period, the Gold Medalist received a Steinway Grand Piano and a New York recital debut.
