STEINWAY'S popular youth piano competition has gone online, not just in an effort to observe social distancing measures, but also expand its audience base as millions of people stay home under lockdown restrictions. Performers livestream their playing direct from their homes, while judges make their decisions from watching it in their homes.
Celine Goh, general manager of Steinway Gallery Singapore, says the move is - as with so many things these days - unprecedented: "It is possibly the first time that a piano competition is organised entirely in a livestream format." Viewers can watch the heats, which run from May 18 to 21, and the finals on May 30 on the Steinway Gallery Singapore website.
