While we were preparing the concept of this year's edition of the "Lake Pearls" Festival, we had a clear goal - to celebrate music and art and to establish strong links and cultural exchanges among young artists from around the world. This cause confirms the idea in which we believe - to constantly search and encourage inspiration among young people, because that,s the only way that classical music can remain "alive". We will try to achieve this through the rich program offered by the Festival: a competition where participants will be evaluated by a highly professional international jury, a concert of the winners, a solemn performance of eminent pianists, numerous excursions and opportunities for reaching contacts with artists from all over the world. In the frames of the Festival we will realize another role in which we deeply believe - educating musicians by providing a master class, for young artists to continue to search for their own excellence and to constantly expand their worldviews.
