The Piano Festival
The Piano Festival organized by the Ludwig van Beethoven Association is a continuation of the "Masters of Piano" Festival which Elzbieta Penderecka, the Festival managing director, launched in Cracow in 2001. The Festival was moved to Warsaw in 2004 and its 2006 concerts were planned in a few other Polish towns as well.

The Festival aims to promote young pianists from Poland and abroad and to acquaint the audience with the winners of the main international piano competitions as well as with the great masters of the piano. The organizers also want to help promote young pianists internationally and so they have established contacts with other international piano competitions, including the famous Van Cliburn Piano Competition, Géza Anda Concours and Ludwig van Beethoven Klavier Wettbewerb, whose leaflets now mention guaranteed concerts at the Warsaw Piano Festival for winners of first or second prizes. It is also planned to promote the Festival through Deutsche Welle, a channel devoting much of its broadcasting time to classical music, and through the CNN website. All concerts are to be recorded and published on CDs.
As part of its aim of promoting classical music among children and teenagers, every year the Festival offers family concerts and well as promotional packages for pupils and students and free admission for children from orphanages.
The fourth edition of the Piano Festival, which took place on 25-29 November 2006, used a three-angled approach, combining concerts of virtuoso children (the eleven-year-old Julia Vanyushina), appearances by young winners of prestigious piano competitions (Alexei Volodin, Berenika Zakrzewski), and recitals of their masters – the finest European and American pianists (Cyprien Katsaris, Garrick Ohlsson and Boris Berman).
