Established in 1998 by Patrons of Exceptional Artists and Community Concert Association, the festival features two sessions every year, namely the Master and the Discovery Series. Whilst the former focuses on documenting great keyboard masters of this generation, the latter aims to discover emerging pianistic talents. There is one commonplace where both series converge- the urge of building a future audience base to insure the very existence of classical music. Since its first reception, the event has been internationally heralded for its contribution in presenting artists who are capable of challenging performance conventions.

In the 2012 edition, the three-day event welcomes three great names of the pianistic world on stage- Jorge Luis Prats, Claudio Martinez Mehner and Steven Osborne. Franz Liszt scholar Alan Walker will also give a lecture on the composer’s works.
