Join us for an evening of dazzling magic and virtuosic music as we celebrate fifty years of The Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation, and look ahead to an inspiring next half-century.

Since 1976, The Bachauer has brought the world to Utah - and Utah to the world. With the help of visionary donors, we produce international competitions, concerts, festivals, and school outreach, all with the same goal: to transform our global and local communities through the power of piano music. We are proud to have launched the careers of hundreds of artists, inspired tens of thousands of audience members, and been seen online over a million times.

Our 50th Anniversary Gala will celebrate this incredible legacy in style! The evening will feature Igor Lipinski, concert pianist and accomplished magician. A one-time student of the great Teller himself (Penn and Teller), Teller described Lipinski by saying, "He thrills you on the piano; he mystifies you with magical illusions. And he keeps you laughing with his impudent, charismatic charm."
