[ahlam1399]

The Leeds International Pia** Competition will look at least a little different during 2016. After this year's event during August and September, Dame Fanny Waterman will be stepping down from her traditional role as the artistic director for the music contest. She and her husband Geoffrey de Keyser, as well as accomplished pianist Marion Thorpe, founded the Leeds Competition during 1961. Although her husband died during 2001, she has maintained her role in the competition and will serve one last time during 2015. She is 94 years old.
