The competition is named after its benefactress Maria (Maj) Lind, n\u00e9e Kopjeff (1876\u20131942). A keen amateur music-lover, she studied the piano in Kuopio and St. Petersburg and married a Helsinki businessman, Arvid Lind. When he died, she inherited a considerable fortune, some of which she then bequeathed to the Sibelius Academy “for the development of pianists”.<\/p>\n

The first Maj Lind Piano Competition was financed by a fund set up under the bequest and held in 1945. Since 2002, it has been organised once every five years as an international event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
