Bösendorfer and Yamaha USASU International Piano Competition

05/07/2026

We are very proud of Roman Fediurko, who advanced as one of only six finalists selected from over 500 applicants at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition. The distinguished jury includes Martha Argerich and Daniel Barenboim.

After the first two solo rounds were held in Germany due to the war in the Middle East, the finals — which include chamber music and two concertos — will take place this September in Israel.

Roman is also a two-time major winner at the USASU competitions: 1st Prize Winner and David Katzin Gold Medalist at the 2025 Bösendorfer USASU International Piano Competition, and recipient of the Burns-Addona Award and Gold Medal at the 2023 Yamaha USASU International Piano Competition. In addition, he received the Senderov Award for Best Performance of a Work by a Russian Composer in both 2023 and 2025.

Congratulations Roman and best of luck in the finals!
