What Is Kissinger KlavierOlymp?
Kissinger KlavierOlymp is an annual, invitation-only piano showcase and competition in Bad Kissingen, Germany. It is not an open high-school contest with multiple youth age categories. Each year the organizer invites six highly promising pianists age 27 or younger who have already won competitions and begun professional careers.
The 24th edition runs October 1-4, 2026. All six invitees have been announced. Each pianist performs a self-chosen solo recital in Rossini Hall, followed by a shared closing concert in Max Littmann Hall. A five-person expert jury awards three prizes, and audience members who attend all recitals choose an audience prize. Bayerischer Rundfunk will record the 2026 final for BR-Klassik.
