Vienna International Pianists's Mission Statement: The Vienna International Pianists were founded by the Spanish pianist Jose Francisco Alonso, in order to create a community of renowned concert artists and young musicians. Alonso's successor as head of the organization, the Venezuelan native pianist Rosario Marciano died in 1998; since then the association has been led by the pianist Stephan Moeller-Spaemann and the composer Jorge Sanchez-Chiong. Current activities of Vienna International Pianists are a concert series in Vienna, workshop concerts for student members and, as their main projects, the annual piano festival with concerts, workshops and two master class programs, "VIP Academy" for adult piano students and "Vienna Young Pianists", especially designed for young talents from 11 to 17 years.
