Another prestigious international competition, another outstanding result for FAZIOLI.

The Piano Section of the 20th George Enescu International Competition has its winners. First Prize, together with five special prizes, was awarded to South Korean pianist Jeongwoo Lee. Second Prize went to Yiming Guo (China), while Pin-Hong Lin (Taiwan) was awarded Third Prize.

Both Jeongwoo Lee and Pin-Hong Lin chose the FAZIOLI F278 for their performances, placing FAZIOLI on the podium with the First and Third Prize winners.

The result once again reflects the confidence that a growing number of young pianists place in FAZIOLI pianos when performing at the highest level of international competition. It also reflects the combined work behind every such achievement: the dedication of our artisans in Sacile and the expertise and commitment of our dealer network around the world.

Our special thanks go to Dario Contino and the team at Contino Pianoforti, who recently acquired and supplied the F278 used at the competition and took care of the instrument throughout the event.
