How can one evaluate the quality of music and arts? Is a piece of classical music by default of a higher value than a piece of commercial music? Where does our standardized education system fail us when it comes to valuing classical music? In this TEDx talk, Ingolf Wunder gives answers to these and many other questions about classical art education and its influence on preserving our culture in the modern world. Ingolf Wunder is an Austrian pianist, Art lover, and Co-Founder of APPASSIO.com. When he was 16, he was awarded the Liszt Prize at the International Liszt Piano Competition. At 18, he was invited by a renowned conductor Emmanuel Krivine to play at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. His breakthrough came in 2010 at the most important piano competition: The International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.
