Gina Bachauer (born in Athens, Greece, 1913) was one of the most celebrated pianists of the 20th century, renowned for her Romantic concerto repertoire and prolific performing career. Studying with legendary teachers Alfred Cortot and Sergei Rachmaninoff, Bachauer developed a commanding command of piano tone, technique, and musical expression that earned her the title queen of pianists. Her global touring schedule included 100+ concerts per year and even performances entertaining Allied troops during World War II. Her legacy continues through the Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation in Salt Lake City, preserving her spirit of excellence and outreach through competitions, festivals, and outreach programs. A dedicated supporter of music education, the foundation hosts events that bring top-level piano talent to audiences around the world.
