We are very proud of the successful completion of the 32nd International Piano Competition Young Virtuoso, Zagreb, 2026.

Year after year, we witness an ever-higher level of artistic excellence, dedication, and musicality among young musicians and their teachers, which inspires and further motivates us in our work. This year, pianists from 14 countries took part. We are especially pleased that, through this prestigious competition, our school continuously recognizes, encourages, and empowers young, talented artists from Croatia and around the world, providing them with a space for growth, artistic expression, and their first major achievements.

We wholeheartedly congratulate all the young pianists on their courage, hard work, and outstanding performances! We extend our sincere gratitude to the esteemed jury for their expertise and dedication, to the teachers for their selfless and devoted work, to our sponsors and partners for their trust and support, to the designer for the creative contribution, to the Competition Council for their valuable guidance, and to the Organizing Committee of the Pavao Markovac School of Music for their tireless efforts and faith in a project that has successfully endured for a full 32 years.

We look forward with great anticipation to a new chapter – see you next year at the 33rd violin edition!
