With this competition, the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz is facing up to its responsibility to enable young musicians on their way from university to professionalism both to determine their position and to confront the reality of a profession that is inherently competitive. Top-class and internationally recognized jurors face this ambitious challenge and, with their qualified feedback, contribute to making this competition a significant milestone in the artistic development of the participants.
“Franz Schubert and the Modern Music” is associated with the World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) – a prestigious institution that represents only selected classical music competitions, and is also member of the Alink-Argerich Foundation (AAF).
