Kissin fronts new piano contest
mainThe Italian heirs of the late concert organiser Antonio Mormone have launched a piano competition with Evgeny Kissin as chairman.
Kissin says: ‘Antonio Mormone was an extraordinary man whom I had a privilege to know and be friends with for almost 30 years. He loved music, he loved talented people, his memory should be cherished, and I believe that this Prize will be the best way to honour Antonio Mormone’s memory for many years to come.’
Top prize is 30,000 Euros.

And so the competition farce continues, one can only
entertain the thought we need another competition like a hole in the head.The likes of Kissing being chairman takes
your breath away from laughter.
You can’t even spell Kissin’s *name* correctly- which shows how little a Pole knows about music.
