About the Founder
Mr. Soetiono Iskandar
Veranza Music House founder, Mr. Soetiono Iskandar, a native of Surabaya, Indonesia. He began to study piano at the age of four, with his strong passion for music. He believed that to be an effective piano teacher, one must become an extraordinary pianist first. He then chose to continue his studies in piano performances at The Hague. After completing his studies, he decided to return to his native land with a strong vision to develop young talents. As he witnessed the increasing number of talented young pianists in Indonesia and the lack of a professional platform, it was his dream to create Veranza Music House for pianists to share their love of music and their most sincere thoughts and feelings.
He believes that in addition to providing a platform for pianists to perform and share their music, competition must also foster meaningful friendships and relationships. He believes that the main purpose of competition is not only about choosing the best and eliminating the rest. Instead, competition must serve the purpose of displaying individuality and difference. Through Veranza Music House he wants to improve the standard of piano competition both nationally and internationally in encouraging young pianists throughout the world.
Overall, Mr. Soetiono Iskandar tried to keep classical music education alive and interesting. Because he believes music serves to inspire, it is his desire that Veranza Music House will become an inspiration platform for students, teachers, and spectators.
