BPAA is grateful to our lead sponsor, Falcetti Pianos, for the Gold Stream Grand Prize and for providing the superb Bösendorfer 280VC Competition Grand Piano
We are thrilled that our pianists will have the unique privilege of playing on a world-class grand piano, the newly redesigned Bösendorfer 280VC ("Vienna Concert"), the flagship of the series. Only a handful of these exceptional grand pianos have made their way to the U.S. Bösendorfer pianos are famous for a darker, warmer, more “singing” sound. The unique 280VC rim was recently re-engineered to improve stability, and provide greater sustain, projection and tonal color.
