Regulations of the competition
The aim of our competition is to motivate and discover talented young people. Often, in international competitions, in addition to demonstrating creative debuts and mastery of musicians, young people are given the chance to enter the international arena and realize more of their potential.
For this purpose:
The International Association of Young Musicians of Georgia established the International Summer Academy of Music in 2015, which has gained great activity and wide resonance for 4 years. Every year within the academy we would select the most excellent participants, who would be awarded with various prizes and gifts. The most outstanding awards are a concert performance with a symphony orchestra in a large concert hall and a solo concert in various cities of Europe. Due to the great demand and the increased number of participants, this year we decided to replace the status of an academy with a festival and besides the master classes, lectures, seminars, etc., we desided also held an International Competition.
We believe that our international competition will create favorable conditions for the new generation to show their high professionalism and musical talent. We hope that this competition will be a great incentive for both the contestants and the professional development of the teachers, which will be reflected in the cultural life of the city and the country.
