Concours de Genève — International Music Competition

Founded in 1939 under the name of Concours International d’Exécution Musicale, the Concours de Genève — International Music Competition is one of the oldest and most prestigious classical music competitions in the world. Among its laureates, we can find a great number of legendary performers: Friedrich Gulda, Martha Argerich, Nelson Goerner, and Emmanuel Pahud,; to name just a few. The aim of the competition, open to all under 30, is to promote and support young talents by providing them with the necessary tools for their international careers to blossom, notably through the organization of complementary events, such as masterclasses, workshops for the laureates, and the opportunity for the winners to perform in concerts dedicated to them. Since its creation, 26 musical disciplines have been presented in alternance, under the watchful eye of an international jury. Composers and vocalists get a shot at Geneva glory in 2024, and you can watch the semi-final voice rounds and thrilling finals in both disciplines on medici.tv!
