“Granted to a pianist every four years, [the $300,000 prize] is not a competition, so contestants do not even know they are in the running. Instead, a small, anonymous jury travels incognito to concerts around the world, searching for an artist with the potential to make a mark on music.” Among previous winners are Leif Ove Andsnes, Piotr Anderszewski, and Ingrid Fliter.
