An exchange is obvious: the Beethoven Festival with its piano competition, the International Telekom Beethoven Competition Bonn, and the Kissinger Summer with the Kissinger KlavierOlymp. Both festivals invite the winner of the other piano competition to a guest performance. In 2021, Tomoki Sakata will come to Bonn, winner of the 17th Kissinger KlavierOlymp 2019. The 26-year-old pianist from Japan convinced the jury with the best Beethoven interpretation, his structure-conscious playing and consistently sovereign design. In Bonn he dedicates himself not only to Beethoven but also to Franz Liszt and others.
