The event was jointly hosted by the Music & Opera Singers Trust and Live at Yours in a private home in Vaucluse.

The competition is recognised as having added significantly to the development of Israel’s cultural life and received worldwide acclaim as an important musical display at the international level.

The society’s aims are the continuation of the development of the competition in Tel Aviv and the award of scholarships to those pianists who enter the Competition.

There will be a special prize in the name of Arthur Rubinstein.

As well as promoting the artistic careers of the Competition laureates, the society will initiate and organise worldwide recitals, concerts, and international festivals of the great art of the piano worldwide.

A spokesperson said: “We hope this is the first of many annual events in Australia.”
