Founded in 2014, the international piano festival ‘Piano Fest’ has grown to become one of the most outstanding classical music events in Subotica and its wider region.

The main objective of the Electe Association, the festival organizer, and its artistic director, Görög Noémi, is to promote classical music through high-quality concerts.

Overall, during previous festivals, the audience had a chance to see nearly 100 pianists from around 20 countries perform at the city’s most prominent venues: the Main Hall of the City Hall, the Contemporary Art Gallery and the Municipal Music School.

The participants included, to name but a few, Daniele Petralia (Italy), Joo Hee Seo (South Korea), Nada Kolundžia, Vladimir Milošević, Tijana Andrejić Tenji, Alexander Đermanović (Serbia), Alexander Sinchuk(Russia), Olga and Xenia Kemova (Russia), Clara and Marie Becker (Germany), József Balog, Gergely Bogányi, Tamás Érdi, Krisztina Fejes, János Palojtay (Hungary).

The Piano Fest traditionally includes the popular Master Class, held by the Japanese-Israeli duo Tami Kanazawa and Yuval Admony.
