Chairman wins another competition for his students

Chairman wins another competition for his students

Remember this headline: Beethoven Competition is won by chairman’s pupil?

Well, Pavel Gililov has done it again.

The winner of the Hummel Piano Competition, Russia’s Anastasiia Kliuchereva, studies at the Mozarteum in Salzburg with Gililov. So does one of the two runners-up.

The Hummel Competition takes place in Slovakia, one of the more corrupt members of the EU, so nobody’s really bothered. But the presiding body is the International Federation of Music Competitions, and they really ought to pay more attention. Slippedisc has been tracking this so-called impartial judge for 11 years.

The post Chairman wins another competition for his students appeared first on Slippedisc.
