In 1978 the name of Gina Bachauer was given to the competition in honor of the great Greek pianist who was a celebrated favorite of Utah audiences and often appeared with Maurice Abravanel and the Utah Symphony.  In 1980, the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition relocated to Salt Lake City under the patronage of the Utah Symphony.  The competition was held on a biennial schedule, every other year, during the month of June. During this period, the Gold Medalist received a Steinway Grand Piano and a New York recital debut. In 1995, the four-year cycle of various international competitions was set into the Foundation\u2019s schedule.  They included the two Junior Competitions, the original Artists Competitions of ages 19-32, and the newly created Amateur Piano Competition for non-professional musicians ages 33-100. <\/p>\n<p>Competitors in the 2010 Artists Competition perform in two rounds of recitals for an international jury of distinguished artists. As there are no requirements of repertory, competitors can display their artistry and virtuosity with music of their own choice. No elimination occurs until the final round and the opening two rounds saw 37 competitors from 17 countries, each playing 35- and 50-minute programs.<br \/>\nA nine-member jury with the Gina Bachauer International Artists Piano Competition has now selected six finalists to perform a concerto of their choice with the Utah Symphony Orchestra and conductor Lawrence Leighton Smith:<\/p>\n<p><em>Wednesday, June 30<\/em><br \/>\nZhang Zuo: Rachmaninoff &#8211; Concerto No.2 in C Minor, op. 18<br \/>\nKotaro Fukuma: Schumann &#8211; Concerto in A Minor, op. 54<br \/>\nSerhiy Salov: Brahms &#8211; Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, op. 83<br \/>\n<em>Thursday, July 1<\/em><br \/>\nDmitri Levkovich: Rachmaninoff &#8211; Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, op. 18<br \/>\nYunjie Chen: Chopin &#8211; Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, op. 11<br \/>\nLukas Geniusas: Rachmaninoff &#8211; Concerto No. 3 in D Minor, op. 30 <\/p>\n<p>Follow the competition:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ustream.tv\/channel\/gina-bachauer\" target=\"_blank\">Gina Bachauer Competition &#8211; Live streaming video broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bachauer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.bachauer.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nEdit July 2:<\/em><br \/>\nFirst Prize\u2013Gold Medal: Lukas Geniusas (Russia)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bachauer.com\/articles.php?id=66\" target=\"_blank\">View all prize winners here<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gina Bachauer (1913 &#8211; 1976), was a Greek classical pianist who toured extensively in the United States and Europe.<br \/>\nShe recorded for the HMV (His Master&#8217;s Voice), RCA Victor and Mercury labels and she gave hundreds of concerts &#8211; including 630 for the Allied troops in the Middle East during World War II.
