Founded in 1963, the Clara Haskil Competition seeks unique musical talents around the world, in Vevey every two years.
The aim of the competition is to reveal a talented young pianist who can represent its values: sensisitivity, humility, constant reappraisal, perpetual pursuit of excellence, an attentive listening ear for partners, respect for the composer, musicality rather than virtuosity, modesty and discretion. These values are inspired by the life and career of Clara Haskil, Swiss pianist of Rumanian origin, who was born in 1895 and died tragically in 1960, and whose aura has never ceased to grow, whether among the public or professionals.
