In 1982, Heidrun Holtmann won First Prize at the renowned Concours Géza Anda in Zurich.

Holtmann’s playing is praised as natural and unconstrained: German classical music magazine Fono Forum extols Heidrun Holtmann’s “transparent voice-leading, sensitive dynamic arcs, and coherent articulation”. Holtmann had already given her début performance at the Festival in 1990, and 2020 was to mark her sixth return: now it can finally take place!
