Special KNS Classical Award Presented to Elena Bathaiee

The organizers of the Montenegro International Piano Festival are pleased to announce that, in addition to the officially planned awards, a special, unplanned prize has been presented as an exceptional recognition to one of the competition participants.

At the initiative of Carles Lama, distinguished pianist and representative of the renowned label KNS Classical, it was decided to award an additional CD recording opportunity to the young pianist Elena Bathaiee, whose outstanding artistic qualities set her apart.

This decision represents a strong affirmation of the values upheld by the Montenegro International Piano Festival — the creation of an international support network for young pianists, the provision of meaningful opportunities for their professional development, and the affirmation of their place on the global artistic stage.

The organizers extend their sincere congratulations to Elena Bathaiee and express special gratitude to KNS Classical for their trust and commitment to supporting the future of classical music.
